OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Part 2

When Last We Left the Doctor Whose Brain Functions are Faster than Light...

...normally, I'd synopsize, but since Mae, the good doctor's aide is keeping a graphic diary, I'll let her explain what's going on...

And now, on with our tale...

This is what we call a "mic drop moment" and tell you we'll pick up the story...

Next Friday!

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 after that, 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...

CoronaVirus Comics UNUSUAL TALES "Incredible Advice"

Most of pioneering Black comic artist Matt Baker's work on medical-themed comics...

...usually involved beautiful nurses in torrid romances!

But not this never-reprinted tale...

This story from Charlton's Unusual Tales #20 (1960), written by Joe Gill, penciled by Matt Baker and inked by Vince Colletta has a weird Twilight Zone vibe to it.

Was it coincidence or fate...or something more that lead him to this particular old farmhouse?

Was the kindly old couple a pair of messengers?

And how did his sudden obsession with blueberries come about?
If we knew the answers, this wouldn't be such an...Unusual Tale...would it?

CoronaVirus Comics REAL HEROES "Plague Vanquished"

Not all comic book heroes wear capes...

..as this tale of Edward Jenner, the doctor who saved us from smallpox, proves!

Who says comics ain't educational?

Not me, kiddo!

This never-reprinted story from Parent Magazines' Real Heroes #15 (1946) was one of several graphic dramatizations of Dr Jenner's achievement which has saved countless lives since its' introduction!

Depending on how long the Covid-19 lockdown continues, we may have time to run all of them!

Sadly, both writer and illustrator(s) are unknown!

MODERN LOVE "They Wouldn't Let Me Love Him"

The "star-crossed lovers from different ethnic groups" trope applies...

 ...even when when one of the lovers is a medical student about to become an MD!

But, Hispanic girl-Anglo boy relationships seem to have a particular interest for comics writers and artists...going back to the 1950s!

Both this never-reprinted tale from EC Comics' Modern Love #7 (1950) and a similar 1970s story show the woman leaving the man to avoid prejudice against her from affecting his career!

In the 1950s, it was disturbing, but in the pre-civil rights era, it was, sadly, the status quo.

In the 1970s, it was disturbing, but far less common.

In the 2020s, the resurgence of this sort of prejudice is frightening, setting America back over 70 years!
The art is by Wally Wood and future sci-fi/fantasy author Harry (Stainless Steel Rat series and Make Room! Make Room!, the basis for the movie Soylent Green!)
The scripter is unknown, but believed to be the book's editor, Al Feldstein.

Military Medicine OPERATION: PERIL "Mauling Medic"

If You're a Combat Medic...

...what do you do when a wounded enemy wants you to treat them?

Note: May be NSFW due to racist language common to the time period.

This never-reprinted Korean War tale from ACG's Operation: Peril #15 (1953) by editor/writer Richard Hughes, penciler Dick Beck, and inker Leo Morey shows the American medic does treat the Communist Chinese wounded...by taking them as prisoners back to his HQ, with as much medical supplies as he can steal!
I leave it to you to judge the levels of compassion and self-serving hypocrisy in the story.

PATSY WALKER "Great Idea!"

There used to be lots more to teen humor comics than just Archie and his friends...

...with every comics publisher from the late 1940s through the early 1970s doing them! 

Created by writer Stuart Little (no, he's not a talking mouse) and artist Ruth Atkinson, Patsy Walker first appeared in Timely's Miss America Magazine #2 (1944).

Redheaded Patsy Walker, parents Stanley and Betty, boyfriend Robert "Buzz" Baxter, and insanely-rich, raven-haired friendly rival Hedy Wolfe appeared from the 1944 through 1967 in various teen humor anthologies as well as several self-titled comics.

Trivia: Patsy Walker (along with Millie the Model and Kid Colt: Outlaw) were the only titles published continuously by Marvel from Timely in the Golden Age, through Atlas in the 1950s, to Marvel in the  Silver Age!

Patsy, Buzz and Hedy are all part of the Marvel Universe from Marvel's Fantastic Four Annual #3 (1965) when Patsy and Hedy attended the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm!

Patsy later became the superheroine HellCat, and Buzz was revealed to be the supervillain Mad-Dog!

Patsy (and HellCat) appeared on the NetFlix series Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Defenders, played (at various ages from child to adulthood) by Rachael Taylor, Catherine Blades, and Audrey Grace Marshall, making her part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

(Note: she's called "Trish", not "Patsy" in the MCU)

Written and illustrated by the versatile Al Jaffee (before he moved over to MAD Magazine), this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Patsy Walker #36 (1951) promoted contributing to the charity created in 1946 by newsman Walter Winchell (best known today as the narrator of the 1960s TV show Untouchables) to honor his friend, writer Damon Runyon, who died of cancer!

The charity, now called Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, still exists!
