Learn something new with Adam and Lisa Murphy (and a bucket load of zombie scientists)

Published on: 30 October 2017 Author: Robbie Hunt

The Corpse Talk team are back, and this time they are interviewing some dead famous scientists... Sorry, we couldn't resist the pun.

The fabulous writer-illustrator duo of Adam and Lisa Murphy, who also happen to be #relationshipgoals here at BookTrust, have graced us with yet another amazing graphic novel.

Corpse Talk: Ground-Breaking Scientists tackles the sometimes quite difficult subject of science, but with the Murphys' wonderful sense of humour and wonder, this book will have even the most reluctant scientists glued to the pages.

Check out some of the amazing illustrations below and learn something new.
