Military Medicine WARTIME ROMANCES "Lovelife of an Army Nurse"

It is said that "All is fair in love and war"...

...an axiom that this nurse learns the hard way in a story from St John's Wartime Romances #1 (1951)!

Penciled by legendary "good girl" artist Matt Baker and inked by Ray Osirin, this tale of combat and cattiness was typical of the more adult approach that St John's creatives took in their various romance titles.

SURGEON X SPECIAL "Trial and Error"

When is a Surgeon X story not a Surgeon X story?

When Rosa Scott MD, isn't the protaganist, but a supporting character in a tale involving her cousin, research scientist Dr Sun Walker!
Written by Sara Kenney and illustrated by Warren Pleece, this was a digital-only tale set in 2037, a year after the end of the mini-series.
There haven't been any more Surgeon X stories since the story's release in 2017.
But this potential future may be closer than you think...

SURGEON X "Path of Most Resistance" Chapter 6 "Gods and Monsters" Conclusion

...if you haven't been following the series up to now, at least go back to last week's post HERE, then continue from this point!
So,what were you expecting?
A happy ending?

Speaking of which, Just before issue #5 was released, artist John Watkiss passed away from cancer,.
The editorial page for this issue, which was about to go to press, was modified to present the tragic news, but comic websites like Bleeding Cool had already gotten the word out.

While the Surgeon X series hasn't (to date) continued, there was a one-shot digital comic published on-line, written by Sara Kennedy and illustrated by Warren Pleece, who assisted Watkiss with the art on #6!
You'll see that final, far more optimistic tale...
NEXT WEEK!
