Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics Y: THE LAST MAN "UnManned" part 1

What if a lethal pandemic could be targeted...
...to one, specific, type of victim?

Well, this was 2002, not 2020...
Written by Brian K Vaughn, penciled by Pia Guerra, and inked by José Marzan, Jr., this intro from Vertigo's Y: the Last Man #1 (2002) tells the story. clearly and concisely, setting up multiple plotlines for the future.
There's lots of concepts jammed into the multi-award winning post-apocalyptic 60-issue series including political conspiracies, ethical dilemma of cloning, LGBT extremists, and interracial love, among others.
The conclusion of the premiere will be here next Monday!

CoronaVirus Comics DEATH RATTLE "Masque of the Red Death"

We've run numerous adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story...
...but this is the actual bone-chilling tale, uncut!
Illustrated by Daryl Hutchinson. this never-reprinted story from Kitchen Sink's Death Rattle V2N13 (1987) is fascinating, combining the complete centuries-old text with art that deliberately tries to evoke the style of 1930s-40s pulp artists like Virgil Finley and Hannes Bok!

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!
