M.D. "A Case for the Books"

Here's a title that likely doesn't mean what you believe it means!

Think I'm kidding?
Read on...

So the title didn't refer to a unique medical procedure...but a piece of furniture!

In the dark days before ObamaCare, if you were one of the working poor, any major medical procedure could bankrupt your family since you likely couldn't afford medical insurance!
In some cases, a compassionate medical practitioner, especially one who handled fiscally-limited patients, would barter for services.
It's a situation far less common today than when writer Al Feldstein and artist Graham Ingels created this tale for EC's M.D. #2 (1955)!

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Dr Cecelia Cobbina was affected by a world-wide event referred to as "Ignition", which activated latent (but unused) physical and/or mental abilities in some people.

In her case, it was to amplify her brain's processing capacity to near-infinite levels, making her near-omniscient (hence the "Omni" in the book's title.)

The series ran ten issues (six in print/on-line and four on-line only) as part of the H1 comics universe.
Sadly, the entire H1 project seems to have ended without a conclusion in 2021.
There were no new issues during 2022, and the company's website offers no further info beyond the already-published titles.
But we wanted to introduce our audience to the fascinating Dr Cobbina, and suggest they track down the remainder of her saga...
