      This cursory biography of the teenager who invented television is presented in short chapters, in full-color comic-book format. Fuzzy, oversimplified explanations of the science involved yield to the human interest story of the lone inventor trying to beat the large corporations in order to bring television to the public. Endnotes attempt to fill in some of the gaps. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
