This is just spectacular – The Periodic Table of Comic Books, which tracks uses of particular elements in comic books. It’s the work of University of Kentucky chemistry professors John P. Selegue and F. James Holler, and it’s filled with all manner of wonderful (and somewhat hilarious, albeit unintentionally so) Golden and Silver Age work, especially a lot from – as you’d expect – Metal Men and Metamorpho. If only they’d had this when I was a kid, I might have been better in science class…
