CoronaVirus Comics LOVE DIARY "I Was Branded a Flirt, a Nurse Confesses..."

Just as we can't escape Covid-19...
...we can't escape the almost infinite selection of tales about male and female medical personnel "playing doctor", as this intense, never-reprinted story from Orbit's Love Diary #1 (1949) which takes a twist you probably don't expect, proves!!
That "life together" continued for five more issues of Love Diary, along with a two-story spinoff featuring supporting character Sally Weeks!
Vicky didn't end up with the wholesome "boy next door" doctor as you might expect, but the glamourous, slightly-arrogant studmuffin!
But, that doesn't mean the course of true love is without some rough patches!

CoronaVirus Comics CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY "Ultimate Cure"

Archie Comics doing a horror comic isn't unusual...
....but AfterLife with Archie, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or even Jughead: the Hunger this ain't!
And it's not exactly the usual wholesome Archie fare, eh?
Written by Frank Doyle, penciled by Stan Goldberg, and inked by Jon D'Agastino, this lead story from Archie's Chilling Adventures in Sorcery Told by Sabrina #2 (1972) was their contribution to the industry-wide "monsterization" brought on by the loosening of restraints against monsters by the Comics Code Authority in 1971.
Why it was deliberately-done in the Archie "house style" remains a mystery to this day!
(To be fair, when Archie jumped on the Batman/James Bond fad of the mid-1960s, their comics featuring the Riverdale crew as either super-heroes or spies were also illustrated in the humorous "house style"!)
After two issues, the book was reformatted as a realistically-illustrated traditional horror comic, running nine more issues.
Sabrina didn't appear in them...

...a secret the mysterious Black Rider used to his advantage in this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Kid Colt Outlaw Comics #38 (1954)!
Illustrated by Joe Kubert, this tale of infection among Indians has an unknown author due to lack of credits in the pre-Marvel Atlas Comics!.

CoronaVirus Comics TRUE COMICS "Yellow Jack: How the Cause of Yellow Fever was Discovered..."

Who says comics ain't educational?
Certainly not us!
And this never-reprinted real-life story from Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #1 (1941) proves it!
Fascinating!
A perfect example of the scientific method at work!
And, yes, that's the Dr Walter Reed the hospital in Washington DC is named after...and this is why it's named after him!
