He lives in Yorkshire.

"Science Tales...deals with some of the most urgent debates in science using pictures, speech bubbles and comic-strip layouts... Darryl Cunningham takes a view on such knotty issues as homeopathy and the MMR vaccine, sorting facts from fiction and presenting complex information in a highly accessible way." The Observer "He consistently champions the scientific method over all forms of quackery, and his stark lines and simple layouts give his comic the feel of a scientific analysis. The artwork is uncluttered, leaving little to distract the reader from the exposition, delivered in stripped-back, staccato prose." New Scientist "He has managed to distil the arguments into a wonderfully clear and concise form - a great primer for those seeking arguments to undermine their Daily Express-reading uncle." Herald Scotland "It's clear and straightforward at all times, making complex issues simple, but never simplistic." Headline Environment "Science Tales manages to be somehow simultaneously both succinct and substantive, and a fierce and intelligent promoter of the scientific process over blind superstition and baseless supposition."
