Dr. Radium, Man of Science

Dr. Radium, Man of Science ran for five issues from 1992 to 1995 under Slave Labor Graphics, a notable home for offbeat, creator-owned work. Written and drawn by Scott Saavedra, the series follows the adventures of a scientist hero, blending retro-futuristic pulp aesthetics with the indie comic sensibility of the early '90s. Its concise run offers a charming, self-contained take on a classic archetype, remembered for its clean, expressive art and playful tone.
