Larry Gonick is a cartoonist who has created a series of wonderful cartoon books that illustrate the various sciences. He has The Cartoon Guide to Genetics, The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry, The Cartoon Guide to Physics, The Cartoon Guide to the Environment, The Cartoon History of the Universe, and The Cartoon Guide to Statistics. I recently acquired a class set of his genetics books through DonorsChoose.org.
These books are amazing at illustrating tough concepts. I'd highly recommend getting a copy or a class set of these to help students get a grip on what you talk about in class. It's a great supplement to notes and classwork.
Here's a sample of what the genetics cartoons look like through Google books (No embedded preview, but they have a link).
