Nikola Tesla (Comixology Originals)

Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time?
Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tesla managed to study and become an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated in search of fortune first to France and then to America, where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison, the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. He suffered and then overcame the envies that arose among his colleagues of the time, chief among them Edison himself, which culminated in the so-called War of Currents, the competition for control of the world electricity market.

He had grand public paybacks before he knew a resounding and final downfall. With more than two hundred different patents, some of which led to the mass diffusion of alternating current and radio, and thanks to the insights of remote control and wi-fi, Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history.
