Coronavirus Comics SCIENCE COMICS "Theobald Smith and Texas Fever"

We had a month of weird and way-out fantasy...

...but now it's time to (sadly) return to reality, where a pandemic continues to threaten our very existence!

Note: Theobald Smith was, in fact, an MD (degree from Albany Medical College), though he didn't practice!

Whether the anonymous writer of this never-reprinted tale from Ace's Science Comics #5 (1946) didn't know that or ignored it for expediency is unknown.

In addition, artist Warren Kremer left out Smith's rather bushy beard!
Texas Fever has been all but eliminated, thanks to Smith's pioneering work!

CoronaVirus Comics SCIENCE COMICS "Walter Reed: the Man Who Conquered Yellow Fever"

We told this tale once before...

...but here's another version of true events, with a somewhat different emphasis...

Rudy Palais, one of the more gruesomely-graphic artists of the Golden Age illustrated this never-reprinted tale from Ace's Science Comics #2 (1946).

In fact, some of Palais' work is excerpted in Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent!

And, yes, the subject of the story is the Dr Walter Reed the hospital in Washington DC is named after...and this is why it's named after him!
