Quantum comicum?

Help me ID a Comic book about a "macroscopic quantum mechanics" world.
Years ago (later than 2001, but before 2005), a friend of mine told me about a quantum mechanics comic book. The story showed how our macroscopic world would be if quantum mechanics ruled on those scales. It was a serious and didactic book, the scientific and non-lunatic kind. This friend of mine has forgotten the title and who wrote this book.
After a lot of Google searching, the closest I found was this: Quantum Entanglement, Spooky Action At a Distance, Teleportation and You (by Jim Ottaviani and Roger Langridge).
Hivemind: have I ID'ed the book, or are there other comic books that fit this description? Bonus points if you know where I could buy the said book. (The one above is available through Amazon marketplace, but it is an expensive collectible signed version. Plus I am not sure this is the book).
Thank you!

Maybe Alice in Quantumland? Not really a comic book, but there are a lot of illustrations.

Response by poster: Great suggestions, thanks! I will try to contact this friend of mine and see if he recognizes any of those books. I have wanted to buy a Mr Tompkins book for a while, so I will probably go for it (too) anyway. :)
