CoronaVirus Comics FEATURE COMICS "Rance Keane and the Anti-Cancer Serum"

Now here's something you don't see everyday...
...a romantic triangle involving a hero, his girlfriend and the comedy-relief sidekick!
We had an anti-cancer serum...in 1940?
Rance Keane started out in Quality's Feature Comics #22 as a present-day cowboy who moonlighted as an amateur sleuth with Pee Wee as his Gabby Hayes-style sidekick.
By the time of this story in Quality's Feature Comics #36 (1940), he migrated to New York City and lost most of his rural affectations.

Monday Madness /CoronaVirus Comics THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS "Prologue: the Circle Opens" Part 1

One of Stephen King's best-selling works starts with a pandemic...
...which begins here...
(note the partial lyrics/quotes of songs from several noted composers, singers, and poets.)
To Be Continued...
Next Monday!
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!

Covid-19 Doesn't Stop the Ants, Man!

Not even a pandemic stops the pests!
They've gone from the back yard to our basement bathroom and straight up the pipes into our main floor bathroom!
It's been contained and almost eliminated, but we're not going to do the usual post today.

Friday Fun / CoronaVirus Comics JUGHEAD "The Patient"

What happens when the best friend of America's Most Famous Comic Book TeenAger is taken ill?
Well, it seems the gang's true feelings about him come out...
Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Saam Schwartz, this tale from Archie's Jughead #250 (1976) seems to show how little respect Forsythe Pendleton Jones III engenders in his associates...except for Archie!
I hope the current version of the characters has revised this concept...
