CoronaVirus Comics / Monday Madness GRIMM TALES OF TERROR "Red World" Part 1

With Covid-19 spreading after people failed to follow procedures during America's reopening...
...on Memorial Day Weekend, it's time for another tale (based on an Edgar Allan Poe classic) of malaise and mayhem...this time set in a post-apocalyptic future!

Be Back Next Monday to See What Happens...
Plotted by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco, scripted by Shane McKenzie, and illustrated by Antonio Bifilco, this take on Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" from Zenescope's Grimm Tales of Terror #4 (2014) is one of the wilder "re-interpretations" of the legendary horror tale.
But then, that's the sort of thing they do so well...

Friday Fun FUNNY TUNES "Space Mouse in 'Mister Fix-It' " and "Peter Rabbit in 'Parking Space!' "

Let's get back to non-disease-oriented humor...
...with a decidedly Earth-bound Space Mouse one-pager...
...and an oddly space-bound Peter Rabbit short!
I'd say somebody gave the artist for these pieces from Avon's Funny Tunes #1 (1953) the wrong scripts...except the writer and artist are the same person...Frank Carin!

Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "War Fleet of the Traitor EarthMen"

If you think you can't trust politicians now...
...let's look at the future (as seen from the 1950s), when they'll betray the whole planet!
Penciled by Lou Cameron and inked by Rocco Mastroserio, this tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952), was typical of pulp and comic sci-fi of the era.
The writer is, mercifully, unknown.
