Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb Featuring graphic novelist Jonathan Fetter-Vorm Near the 70th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, join Museum educators and graphic novelist Jonathan Fetter-Vorm to explore the history, science, and legacy of the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombs.
