Oh man! Logicomix! That takes me back. Happy to be reminded of it. When I was a teenager I was much more of an art person than a math person and I loved graphic novels (still do). Logicomix was really formative for me; the comics really helped me become interested in philosophy and even though I don’t think I ever became a math person Bertrand Russel was one of my main role models for some years there.
It’s really such a beautiful work of art and such an unlikely project. Never read anything like it
Very much agree, the combination of history, math, philosophy and the quest for reason/logic/truth really resonated with me. I periodically search Amazon for “graphic novels like Logicomix” but never see anything that looks comparable, sadly.
