About the series
A single-issue promotional comic from Radio Shack in 1986, The Science Fair Story of Electronics-Spaceplanes was a unique educational tie-in that combined a narrative about futuristic aircraft with hands-on electronics projects. Written by Bill Palmer and illustrated by Jim Weathers and Weathers Graphic Design, it aimed to spark young readers' interest in science and technology through a blend of comic storytelling and practical learning. Though a one-off, it stands as a charming artifact of 1980s corporate-sponsored STEM outreach, reflecting an era when comics were used as tools for both entertainment and education.
