Jack-in-the-Box Comics #16

During the Second World War, scientists got a rare opportunity to study blast damage from the attacks on London, and "How Blast Works" breaks down what they discovered about how explosions actually harm buildings and people. Learn why blast is simply a sudden disturbance of air rather than flying debris, how pressure waves and vacuums create destruction in different ways across open and congested areas, and the surprising variety of effects it can have on those caught in its path.

A dignified Belgian professor invents a spinning device called the Wheel of Life to teach his university students about vision—but a tragic irony haunts his creation, for he himself cannot see its wonders. This non-fiction tale traces how the professor's innovation, combined with the discoveries of a California businessman, a photographer, and a printer's accidental find, converge to birth an entirely new art form that would transform the world.
