The History of Natural Gas

For over sixty years, the American Gas Association has produced The History of Natural Gas as an educational comic, first published in 1962 and continuing to the present day. This single-issue series offers a straightforward, illustrated overview of natural gas's development, from its geological origins to its role in modern industry and home use. While not tied to a famous creator, it stands as a unique example of long-running corporate-sponsored comics, providing a consistent, nonfictional look at energy history for a general audience. Its enduring publication reflects the medium's power to explain complex subjects in an accessible, visual format.
