A small number of the comics are also included in our usual packs of promotional items - which are available for our members in the usual place.
IBMS member Chrisy Yates, who helped create the comic, took copies to her grandson's school. They said:
The children really engaged with the booklet. They especially enjoyed being creative when making their own science superhero and liked that the booklet has a superhero theme with eye catching colours and designs.
Pupils talked about how the booklet had a flow and structure in that the characters were firstly introduced and then each was looked at in more detail in a scientific way. They also liked the range of activities in the book and thought that they were able to take away scientific facts from them too.
