Friday Fun / CoronaVirus Comics JUGHEAD "The Patient"

What happens when the best friend of America's Most Famous Comic Book TeenAger is taken ill?
Well, it seems the gang's true feelings about him come out...
Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Saam Schwartz, this tale from Archie's Jughead #250 (1976) seems to show how little respect Forsythe Pendleton Jones III engenders in his associates...except for Archie!
I hope the current version of the characters has revised this concept...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder / CoronaVirus Comics SPACE ADVENTURES "Tale About Time: There Shall Be an Ending!"

...reporter Paul Mann is plucked from 1967 by the Esroms, peaceful humans from the year 4000 AD who travel in time machine/spacecraft that are mistaken for "flying saucers".
Mann and the Esroms pursue the Honjnosians (evil humans also from 4000 AD) to the time before the Big Bang when Paul falls out of the ship into the ether of the pre-universe...
Remember, Bronsky's diagram was for a bioweapon, specifically an unstoppable plague!
You'll note the use of the "breaking the fourth wall" storytelling technique with Mann addressing the reader directly in several panels, (with one panel of other characters thinking Paul's a bit looney).
Denny O'Neil using his "Sergius O'Shaughnessy" pseudonym scripted this conclusion to the book-length tale from Space Adventures V2#2 (1968).
The art is by the highly-underrated Pat Boyette with what looks like minor redrawing by Jim Aparo in several panels featuring Paul Mann to maintain visual continuity.
Sadly, there were no further adventures of Mann and the men from 4000 AD...

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics PANDEMICA "Chapter One: Get Down with the Sickness" Conclusion

There's a conspiracy to use biological warfare to target specific genetic types...non-whites!
Dr Moses Katz has deduced the key to the plot, but needs help to gather evidence!
After a botched assassination attempt against him, the medical researcher begins recruiting a team of experts with extremely-special skills...
So the cover depicts where the issue ends, not a scene within the issue itself!
Combine speculation about Covid-19 with the X-Files and Mission: Impossible and you get this (prophetic?) series produced last year!
Where does it go from here?
This tale from IDW's almost-prescient Pandemica #1 (2019), by novelist Jonathan Mayberry and illustrator Alex Sanchez begins the set-up the rest of that first issue (of five) completes!
Luckily, they're publishing the entire mini in one trade paperback with kool extras...
