CoronaVirus Comics TWILIGHT ZONE "Plague"

Submitted for your approval...

...a tale so frightening, it couldn't be told on TV...but it did appear in comic books...only in...The Twilight Zone!

There wasn't a sequel to this never-reprinted story by writer Leo Dorfman and illustrator Joe Orlando (with an assist from Mike Sekowsky) from Gold Key's Twilight Zone #20 (1967)!

Perhaps it's best we never know,,,

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder PLANET OF VAMPIRES "Quest for Blood" Part 1

In the 1970s, science fiction writers thought the 21st century was going to be rather dystopic...

...as this never-reprinted tale of a virus-influenced year 2010 from Atlas' Planet of Vampires #2 (1975) demonstrates!

It's always fun to end a chapter with a BANG!

But LOTS more action awaits us...

...NEXT WEDNESDAY!

With the departure of writer/co-creator Larry Hama (GI Joe), John Albano (Jonah Hex) stepped in to the scripting slot, working off Hama's basic plot for the issue as well as several pages already laid out by penciler/co-creator Pat Broderick.

It'a a well-done job, making the transition pretty seamless between the two writers.

Be here next week, as the astronauts and street people take the fight back to the virus-infected "domies"!
(Don't worry, Harsh Realm will return in the near-future!)

I Am Legend/Omega Man

Which features both the recent Will Smith version and the 1970s Charlton Heston version (which heavily-influenced Planet of Vampires)!

But not the 1960s Vincent Price adaptation.

That one, you can get here...)

Last Man on Earth

How the World Ends by Virus...

The 1970s post-apocalyptic flick The Omega Man offers a frighteningly-familiar scenario for 2020...

Scary, eh?

BTW, our "brother" RetroBlog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video, is running the comics adaptation/spoof of the movie...

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics STRANGE TALES "Germ Warfare"

You gotta admit...there's nothing "madder" than GIANT germs!

(and, yes, as our post yesterday pointed out, germs aren't viruses!)

If these people weren't irradiated by the bomb (fatally, if not enough to render them all sterile), it would be a miracle!

But can we blame plotter Stan Lee, writer Larry Lieber, and artist Paul Reinman from glossing over that minor point in a tale for 8-15 year-old kids?

Note: this story from Atlas' Strange Tales #90 (1961) has been reprinted, that reprint was in Marvel's Fantasy Masterpieces #6 (1967), so I'd say the 53-year gap since its' last publication was sufficient to justify running it!

CoronaVirus Comics PICTURE STORIES FROM SCIENCE "Man's Unseen Foe: the Story of Germs"

Here's an EC Comics tale that isn't designed to scare you...

...because it's from the pre-horror days when "Entertaining Comics" was "Educational Comics"!

Who sez comics can't teach ya nuthin'?

Certainly not writer Morris Nelson Sachs nor artist Don Cameron in this never-reprinted story from EC's Picture Stories from Science #2 (1947)!

They've just visually-presented the difference between bacteria, germs, and viruses (such as CoronaVirus)!
