Allie Goodwin Myrick Bowden was born on 31 December 1895 at the Dovedale Plantation in Baldwin County, Georgia. She attended Georgia Normal and Industrial College (present day Georgia College and State University) in Milledgeville, Georgia from 1911 to 1915 and earned her B.A. degree. In 1921, she graduated from Columbia University and went on to teach psychology at the Georgia College and State University and became head of the psychology department. On 1 August 1923 she married Captain Edwin T. Bowden, an officer in the U.S. Army, then professor of military science and tactics at the Georgia Military College. Until Edwin's death in 1963, Allie played the demanding role of army wife while her husband served at Ft. Benning and Ft. Screven in Georgia, South Carolina, Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island. From 1942 to 1945, Allie lived in Macon, Georgia, while her husband served in North Africa, Italy, and Belgium. Following the end of World War II, she and her family were stationed in Ohio and Washington, D.C.

Richard Feynman: physicist . . . Nobel winner . . . bestselling author . . . safe-cracker. In this substantial graphic novel biography, First Second presents the larger-than-life exploits of Nobel-winning quantum physicist, adventurer, musician, world-class raconteur, and one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century: Richard Feynman. Written by nonfiction comics mainstay Jim Ottaviani and brilliantly illustrated by First Second author Leland Myrick, Feynman tells the story of the great man's life from his childhood in Long Island to his work on the Manhattan Project and the Challenger disaster. Ottaviani tackles the bad with the good, leaving the reader delighted by Feynman's exuberant life and staggered at the loss humanity suffered with his death. Anyone who ever wanted to know more about Richard P. Feynman, quantum electrodynamics, the fine art of the bongo drums, the outrageously obscure nation of Tuva, or the development and popularization of the field of physics in the United States need look no further than this rich and joyful work.
