    Vaccines have been used to safely introduce people's bodies to diseases for centuries, and they save millions of lives each year. By giving people a weakened or dead version of a disease, a vaccine allows the body to develop antibodies which recognize and fight the disease later on.
    
    Early vaccinations used dry scabs from smallpox to promote smallpox immunity. Doctors and scientists across nations took and improved the method, developing vaccines for health crises from whooping cough to polio to COVID-19. This graphic history features famous cases and current challenges, including the time frame for creating a new vaccine.

    From the nationally syndicated cartoonist of “In the Bleachers” comes a new, highly illustrated middle grade series about Steve, who plays the same position in every sport: bench-warmer. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy Failure, King of the Bench is an ode to teammates, underdogs, and bench-warmers everywhere. 
    Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It’s just a fact. But this year, Steve and his friends are excited to try out for the Spiro T. Agnew Middle School baseball team. The only problem is, after watching another player get beaned by a fastball, Steve has developed a serious case of bean-o-phobia—the fear of getting hit by a pitch. If Steve ever wants to get off the bench and get in the game, he’s going to have to muster up some courage, and fast. 
    Oh, and if you’re wondering why Steve would write a book and tell total strangers all about the humiliating phobia that almost ruined his first year on the baseball team? Duh. It’s pretty much a rule that you spill your guts when you write a book about yourself.

    Please Remember. This is not an ordinary sci-fi novel, nor a graphic novel. 
    Ten Years ago, a certain law was passed by the high council that made the very existence of the Megatrons, the most advanced family of robots, illegal. Thus, commencing an era where humans began hunting down their own creations without mercy. 
    Jun Cason, the protagonist of this world far into the future is sentenced to death for committing one of the worst crimes of recent times. While drowning in depression and awaiting his death, one day a strange man visits him and makes him an offer: spend the last two weeks of your life in this tiny jail cell or live for one week as a free man; only catch is, you’d have to go to that mysterious place in the galaxy where living things die of unknown reasons for our research project. Finding a tiny ray of hope in the darkness, Jun accepts the offer. 
    On his last day as a free man, Jun witnesses a very cruel public execution of the megatrons while being out on the streets. Megatrons resembles human beings. So, when he sees a teenage megatron girl getting violently killed right in front of him, his sense of justice arises and he ends up saving the girl’s lover, a megatron teenager named Nixon. Out of gratitude, Nixon attempts to save Jun from the peril that awaits him in the outer space, but ends in failure. 
    How could Jun ever hope to survive the Obion planet clusters where the deadly aliens lurk? After learning the conspiracy and the corruption of the high council who rules the world, would he be willing to assist the revolutionaries and help them by committing the same crime that got him a death sentence once again? 
    Follow along as Jun faces one perilous trail after another and rises against the most powerful super computer humanity has ever built, the terrible tyrant Keygen Computer!
