Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS "Prologue: the Circle Opens" Conclusion

...oh, and a car containing a scientist on the run, his wife, and their child just crashed into a gas station...
(BTW, the "Captain Trips" of the title is nickname of the disease!)
Marvel needed six mini-series from 2008 to 2012 to adapt the 1990 revised and expanded edition of the already-massive 1978 novel!
Trivia: Randall Flagg, a character who appears in many of King's stories, unifying them into one "multiverse", makes his debut in The Stand novel.
But, in comics, he premiered in Marvel's Dark Tower adaptation, which was published before The Stand!

With CoronaVirus Infection and Death Numbers Dropping in Areas that Kept Social DIstancing...

...we'll be ending the CoronaVirus Comics Blogathon...
...across the RetroBlogs family as of Saturday, the 4th of July, since most of America will be in recovery mode.
Mind you, we have more than enough material to run through Labor Day, but, with the pandemic diminishing, It's time for us, like the USA to start to return to normal!
And now a word for charity...
...is a work of art and, at the same time, a result of civil commitment and a testimonial to a historical moment.
Lockdown Heroes is a portfolio that collects illustrations of female "essential workers" done by noted Italian good-girl fumetti artist Milo Manara as high-quality frameable prints on fine paper, with Manara's signature on a dry stamp, inside a folder contained, in a slipcase.
Plus: there's a dossier written by Italian pop culture expert Vincenzo Mollica, and an interview with Milo Manara.
A charitable donation from the sale of each copy of Lockdown Heroes will support the Luigi Sacco Hospital in Milan, the University Hospital of Padua and the Domenico Cotugno Hospital in Naples.

CoronaVirus Comics TRUE COMICS "Yellow Jack: How the Cause of Yellow Fever was Discovered..."

Who says comics ain't educational?
Certainly not us!
And this never-reprinted real-life story from Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #1 (1941) proves it!
Fascinating!
A perfect example of the scientific method at work!
And, yes, that's the Dr Walter Reed the hospital in Washington DC is named after...and this is why it's named after him!
