Today, Alan Turing is considered the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. The mathematician, born on June 23, 1912, was a brilliant World War II codebreaker and parlayed that insight into theorizing and creating the first stored-memory computers. Unfortunately, this Officer of the British Empire was persecuted by the British government of the time for his homosexuality and suffered through chemical castration before ending his life.
The Imitation Game by Feynman author Jim Ottaviani and Resistance illustrator Leland Purvis chronicles the life of Turing in a full-size graphic novel. Check back every day this week as Tor.com releases the entire graphic novel in four parts.

This is spectacular! Looking forward to the next installment.
This is a fun change from the usual short stories. Does anyone know how to add it to Goodreads?
What a brilliant man — what a tragic end.
Is this going to be released as a book?
An excellent read.
Thanks, Tor.com.
I added it to Goodreads! This was excellent and I hope more people read it.
Fantsitic, though sad. I knew the ending, of course, but so good to read it all. Can’t wait to purchase the book.
Why the spelling “imput” on p.41, especially when it’s “input” on the next page? Hmmm.
Really enjoying the book!
Thank you for this; it was outstanding.
Talk about timing…we’re planning on going up to Bletchley Park while we’re across the pond for Loncon.
Excellent
