What Watchmen did for postmodern superhero, Logicomix does for the the Bertrand Russel's foundational quest for truth in Mathematics.  In Logicomix, Bertrand Russel narrates his own story, from childhood with his strange, mysterious grandparents, to his student years , to his teaching years and lecturing years.  This graphic novel explained logic to me in a way that I understood (mostly) for the first time, by combining it with history, a little bit of humor, a little bit of romance, madness, war, and theater.  This book would be great for students of math, logic, and philosophy.
