Feynman - The New Hero

It appears that Richard Feynman is the new hero of a graphic novel (cartoon?). His life story seems to have been turned into a series of graphic sketches in this new book.

In “Feynman,” read about how the irrepressible and colorfully sketched PhD pulls pranks on his fellow researchers on the Manhattan Project. Watch as the rascally professor solves the Dirac Equation. Observe as the hard-partying genius boldly calls Niels Bohr by his given name, instead of by his code handle “Nicholas Baker.” In one panel of the 300-page book, Feynman spins dinner plates to unlock secrets of quantum mechanics; in another he humiliates a NASA official during the Rogers Commission investigation of the Challenger explosion.
I suppose this man will remain popular to the public in general because of his "quirkiness".
