The remarkable story about the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and the development of quantum physics in the first half of the 20th century.
The 140-page graphic novel invites us into the innocent time of the 1920s, where Niels Bohr became a unifying father figure for an entire generation of physicists from around the world until WWII, when he was forced to flee Europe and eventually enrolled in the top-secret Manhattan Project at Los Alamos.
Now in 2nd print run.

Since then Niels has concentrated on daily and weekly comics for Danish newspapers, in recent years mainly Weekendavisen.
