Cars: Engines That Move You #[nn]

Part of First Second's "Get to Know Your Universe!" Science Comics series, this 2019 volume by Dan Zettwoch takes readers on an illustrated tour through the history and mechanics of automotive engineering. The cover — a lively collage by Zettwoch — packs in everything from a steam-powered early locomotive and a Victorian-era cyclist to a drag racer, a classic Beetle, a sleek sports car, a wing-tailed muscle car, a monster truck, a cutaway engine block, and even a self-driving car with a cyclist nearby, all arranged with vibrant retro-poster energy. It's a genuinely fun, visually rich entry point for anyone curious about the engines that shaped the modern world.
