In summary, comics can be used to answer questions by presenting information in a visually engaging and accessible format. They can be used in a scientific context to explain concepts, illustrate processes, and communicate information. While comics can be a reliable source of information, it is important to ensure that the information is accurate and based on reliable sources. Comics can be used in all areas of science, including social sciences and humanities. They can also be used to engage students in science education by making learning more fun, interactive, and inclusive.
