Frontiers of Science was an illustrated comic strip created by Professor Stuart Butler of the School of Physics at the University of Sydney in collaboration with Robert Raymond, a documentary maker from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1961.[1] The artist was Andrea Bresciani.[2] After 1970 the comic was illustrated by David Emerson.[3]

It explained scientific concepts and recent research and in a 3 or 4 panel illustrated strip in an accessible and easily comprehensible way. The strip was syndicated to over 200 newspapers around the world for 25 years, from 1961 to 1987.[4] It was also published as soft cover books. As of 2011, it "retains the record of being the longest-running newspaper science comic strip in the world."[5]

The strips are archived at Rare Books and Special Collections in Fisher Library at the University of Sydney. The entire series is available for viewing online. [6][7]
