Richard Carbonneau and Robin Simon are putting up a comics biography of Jack Parsons online entitled The Marvel. Parsons was a pioneer in rocketry and a founder of the famed and internationally respected Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL). It appears away from his heavy duty science research though he was heavily into the ‘mystical’ (or simply plain bonkers, depending on your views) works of Aliester Crowley and conducting supposed occult ritual with L Ron Hubbard, one time SF writer (not one of the better ones in my opinion) and later founder of Scientology.
