Book
Ted Marx works hard at his career as a quantum physicist. But lately the demands of his job have begun to overwhelm him. Then Ted makes a startling discovery: his wife's father once knew Einstein and claims that Einstein entrusted to him a final, devastating secret—a secret even more profound and shattering than the work that led to the first atom bombs. If Ted can convince his father-in-law to tell him what Einstein had to say, his job will be safe. But does he dare reveal Einstein's most dangerous secret to those who might exploit it?
 
In their comic book Genius, acclaimed duo Teddy H. Kristiansen and Steven T. Seagle have created an exploration of the heights of intellectual and scientific achievement and the depths of human emotion and confusion.

Praise for Genius

Starred Review, Booklist, March 1, 2013:
"Seagle instills an intellectually minded tale with humble humanity, natural characterizations, and storytelling restraint, letting the visuals speak a good many words and letting others remain hauntingly unspoken." -- Booklist, starred review

Praise for It's a Bird... by Steven Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen:
 
"This remarkable, genre-bending work...details a son's search for his missing father and a writer's struggle to tap his own creative impulse." --People Magazine
 
"Terrifically wry... This is something truly different." --Entertainment Weekly, Editor's Choice
 
"A smart and touching graphic novel." --USA Today
 
"Teddy Kristiansen's painted art remains stunning throughout." -- The Onion
 
"[A] compelling personal story, casting a very real narrator in a painfully real struggle with his family history and himself." --Boston Globe
