Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics MORLOCK: 2001 "Morlock Must be Destroyed!" Part 1

 (as seen from 1975, when this series was created)...
Was scientist Bertling pursuing research along the same lines as Morlock's creator?
Or is the answer something far more sinister?

One note: the "hobos" on pages 5 though 7 are based on Alex, the protaganist in the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange and his gang.
(In fact, the hobos' leader is also named "Alex"!)

Trump Reading Room / CoronaVirus Comics CHAMBER OF DARKNESS "Day of the Red Death!"

...reminded me of an updated version of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of disease, "Masque of the Red Death"! Here's that updated  "adaptation", set present-day, which freely admits the source material!
In fact, out of the mouth of the legendary Stan (the Man) Lee himself...
A rich, uncaring guy who has the power to destroy the entire world and wouldn't hesitate to allow a plague to do so...as long as he was safe!
Now who does that remind us of?
Writer Roy Thomas had been a teacher before turning to writing/editing comics, and he loved utilizing classic literature in his work!
Don Heck, whose Marvel work was usually inked by others, apparently relished the opportunity to do both penciling and inking, as he had done in his 1950s horror and war comics work!
In addition, John Romita Sr turned in a wonderfully-rendered cover which was somewhat obscured by the black tints used to create "mood".
Look at the original art to see the detail you might've missed on the printed version...
Kool, eh?
