Is THIS America's Future Under Trump?
As promised, the final, unused image...
...from the mini-series, illustrated by comics legend Basil Wolverton, about the Bible's Book of Revelations, which seems to depict Don da Con's term in office with frightening accuracy!

CoronaVirus Comics / Monday Madness GRIMM TALES OF TERROR "Red World" Conclusion
...Scary, eh?
It's not exactly Edgar Allan Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" but an updating with some twists of its' own...
Plotted by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco, scripted by Shane McKenzie, and illustrated by Antonio Bifilco, this take on Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" from Zenescope's Grimm Tales of Terror #4 (2014) is one of the wilder "re-interpretations" of the legendary horror tale.
But then, that's the sort of thing they do so well...

America's Future?
Is this our future...
...thanks to the ineptitude of Don da Con?
Legendary artist Basil Wolverton did these illustrations for articles in a religious organization's magazine about the Book of Revelations.
They were later compiled, along with others, into a multi-volume version of the Bible which covered from Genesis to Revelations by that same organization!
Be here Tuesday as we reveal the final image in the series that was so shocking, the editors initially refused to publish it!

Compiled and edited by Wolverton's son, Monte, the 304-page Bible Stories includes all of Wolverton's artwork for the Worldwide Church of God project.
Recording artist and noted EC Comics authority Grant Geissman (Tales of Terror: The E.C. Companion and Foul Play!: The Art and Artists of the Notorious 1950s E.C. Comics!) provides an insightful foreword, while Monte Wolverton delivers commentary and background in the introduction and in each section.
This volume is authorized and commissioned by the Worldwide Church of God and endorsed by the Wolverton family.
BTW, Many of the illustrations (some never previously-published) are regarded as Basil Wolverton's finest work.

With Covid-19 spreading after people failed to follow procedures during America's reopening...
...on Memorial Day Weekend, it's time for another tale (based on an Edgar Allan Poe classic) of malaise and mayhem...this time set in a post-apocalyptic future!
Be Back Next Monday to See What Happens...

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH Conclusion
...as the Red Death closes in around his castle, Prince Prospero decides to do the only thing he can do...PARTY ON!
Adapted and illustrated by comics legend Richard Corben, this somewhat-snarly, but extremely-kool version of the gothic classic appeared in Dark Horse's multi award-winning 2013 one-shot Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven and the Red Death!

Friday Fun / CoronaVirus Comics DENNIS THE MENACE "Dennis vs the Doctor"
Polio was one of the worst scourges the civilized world ever experienced...
...but when an inoculation was found, many still resisted taking it!
Why do anti-vaxxers act as childishly as Dennis the Menace in this tale from Standard's Dennis the Menace #26 (1958)?
Sadly, writer Fred Toole and artist Al Wiseman have both passed on and can't speculate about the reason.
We hope you've enjoyed our multi-blog "CoronaVirus Comics" posts.
While they will continue from time-to-time, we're returning to our usual assortment of subjects after the 4th of July, including our annual RetroBlog Summer Blogathons.
