  I was curious about electricity but I was coming from a completely different background, so I tried this book hoping to find some good introduction to the subject without getting bored with too many formulas. I didn't like the one about databases that much (too generic), but I tried anyway.
  It's been a revelation.
  The comics are compelling, and they really do a good job in explaining the theory; then, at the end of each chapter, everything is summarized in conventional text and the formulas are neatly presented, and they stick a lot easier after the comics.
  In less than a week, enjoying every page, I was familiar with AC, DC, Ohm's law, magnetic fields, Fleming's rules for motors and generators, circuits and graphical symbols, batteries and power plants, diods and transistors.
  I was so excited and felt so confident that I immediately bought "Make: Electronics" in order to start right away to build my first circuits. Which I did, and since the latter it's very practice oriented I found really useful the bit of theory learnt from the Manga guide.
  Definitely a must read for absolute beginners.
