Eliot Krasinski, The History of the Automobile in Comics

Since ancient times, people have dreamed of creating a self-propelled vehicle. First, using springs, then wind and sails, and finally, steam, electricity, and gasoline. Together with Professor Gawgaford McLapp and his friends, Machine and Button, we'll explore the "History of the Automobile in Comics," learn about famous cars, engine design, types of cars, who invented auto racing and why, and see if it's possible to create a car that's harmless to the environment.

For example, did you know that the first mass-produced car, the famous Model T Ford, took just 1.5 hours to assemble and cost $260, making it affordable even for the poor? And have you ever seen three-wheeled vehicles or ones that could both drive on land and float on water? The book contains not only interesting facts but also a couple of secret missions that only an attentive reader will be able to complete.
