PHIL ELLIOTT MONTH: Comix Reading List #83: The Wonders of Science

 83. THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE (Kickstarter) Phil Elliott

This is the first of three volumes collecting the collaborations of Eddie Campbell and Phil Elliott on weekly strips for SOUNDS starting in 1984. I've previously covered RODNEY THE PREMONITION and THE MAMMY volumes that Phil Elliott funded through kickstarter, this is similar including a lot of back matter and an introduction by co-creator Eddie Campbell.

WONDERS OF SCIENCE, unbelievably, is even more anarchic than the two that followed! Basically, it's crazy idea after absurd idea with Professor Bean and The Research Labs of Grayson Manor as the characters driving the nonsense forward. 

The art is almost cubist in some places and realistic in others, Phil Elliott's talent is so adaptable he could illustrate any wild idea he and Campbell could come up with.
