Wednesday Worlds of Wonder / CoronaVirus Comics SPACE ADVENTURES "Tale About Time: The Quest Begins"

Remember the phrase "Everything you think you know is wrong!"...
...because this sequel to the three-parter we just ran HEREHERE, and HERE will redefine the concept!
The questions continue to pile up, and one of the most famous artists of the Silver Age takes over the storytelling....next Wednesday!
(Not that Jim Aparo was any slouch, but this guy is known even outside comics!)
This sequel to the tale from Space Adventures #60 (1967) was by the first story's scripter, Denny O'Neil using his "Sergius O'Shaughnessy" pseudonom, and appeared almost a year later in Space Adventures #2 (1968).
No, that's not a typo.
This is "Volume 2" of Space Adventures, which had been cancelled the year before with #60!
However, while this is Vol 2, #2, it's the first issue of the revival since there was no Vol 2 #1!
Geez, the time travel paradoxes in this story are easier to explain than comic book numbering!
BTW, you may have noticed that the primary plot from the first tale...
...biological warfare, has been left by the wayside, in order to simplify the synopsis!
(Remember, there's a year-long gap between the original issues in 1967-68, not just a couple of weeks)
But you and we know that plot element's there, and it's the subtext for the remainder of this saga!

CoronaVirus Comics PICTURE STORIES FROM SCIENCE "Battle Against Bacteria"

Here's an explanation of the human body's defenses that's so simple...
...even Don da Con could understand it!
(Plus it has pictures!)
Yes, I know bacteria aren't viruses, but the principles are the same...
Written by Morris Nelson Sachs and illustrated by Don Cameron, this never-reprinted short from EC's Picture Stories from Science #2 (1947) was produced when EC was Educational Comics, not the later horror, crime, and sci-fi oriented Entertaining Comics!

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics BLUE BEETLE COMICS "Rob Ripley: Wizard of Science"

Indiana Jones isn't the only archeologist-adventurer dealing with supernatural forces!
This guy, in search of an ancient cure, did it in this never-reprinted story from Fox/Holyoke's Blue Beetle Comics #27 (1943)
Man-of-action archeologist!
Accompanied by his girlfriend/sidekick!
Sent by a secret agency!
Recovers ancient secret!
Encounters incomprehensible/unexplainable deity!
All he lacks is a fedora, leather jacket and whip! 
Illustrated by Sam Cooper, and written by an unknown writer ("Jerry Maxwell" was a pen-name) this "pilot" tale never went to series.
Too bad, It's actually as good as many strips that had long lives during the Golden Age...
