CoronaVirus Comics STRANGE TALES "I Saved Mankind!"

I love stories with ironic "switch" endings...

...even if the switch produces a tragic result, like this one!

Illustrator John Forte's aliens in this tale from Atlas's Strange Tales #43 (1956) just aren't very...well...alien!
Other than that, it's a clever story (with slightly-stilted dialogue) by a scripter whose identity has been lost to the mists of time!

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics RESISTANCE

A global pandemic leaves hundreds of millions dead in its wake...

It starts present-day/day after tomorrow...then goes off in an unexpected direction!

That's the unexpectedly-timely premise of a new comic series from AWA Studios by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5 and writer of acclaimed runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Mighty Thor, and Superman: Earth One, and Mike Deodato Jr., blockbuster artist of The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Infinity Wars.

You can see the first issue (for free) in three parts, formatted as a webcomic...

America: Post-CoronaVirus?

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!

Wolverton Bible

(which takes the illustrations from the HTF 1970s multi-volume series and reprints them in a single hardcover book!)

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.

Friday Fun /CoronaVirus Comics LITTLE DOT COMICS "Living It Up"

Think you have it rough, sheltering in place from a contagious disease?

Your suffering is nothing compared to the Poor Little Rich Kid's!

If the doctor can leave, why can't the kids?

The M.D.'s just as potentially-communicable as they are!

You'll note that, at no point do Mrs Rich or her husband offer Freckles and Peewee's father employment at a better rate than the below-poverty wages he's obviously making!

Before you ask, this story from Harvey's Little Dot Comics #19 (1956) predates the Rich family's butler Cadbury's first appearance!

It also predates Richie appearing in any of the over fifty titles (including one-shots and Annuals) that would bear his name and dominate the Harvey Comics line from the 1960s through the line's demise in the early 1990s!
