If you have kids, I strongly recommend Abby Howard's graphic novels on dinosaurs and other prehistory (Dinosaur Empire, Ocean Renegades, and Mammal Takeover). [1]
They not only depict the current understanding of dinosaurs as feathered, complex creatures (rather than always showing raptors shrieking and attacking), but also dive into the science of paleontology, evolution, and ecological adaption. Plus the art is fantastic.
I cannot recommend them enough.
It's been super fun to see my 5 year old not only enjoy them, but also point out where older books on dinosaurs got stuff wrong.

- throwawayhhakdl 7y agoCame to say the same. Abby Howard is a great cartoonist. Junior Scientist Power Hour is her (sadly now finished) journal comic. https://www.jspowerhour.com/ https://www.jspowerhour.com/ One heck of a domain name too...
