CoronaVirus Comics THE VITALS: TRUE EMS STORIES "Story Two: Alone in a Storm"

As a new Covid-19 variant hits us in yet another wave of misery...

...lets take another look at the heroes who keep us alive through it all!

"You're not alone."

Though there aren't medals for them, these medicos are heroes (and/or heroines)!

Never forget it!

Marvel Comics collaborated with Allegheny Health Network (AHN) to celebrate real-life healthcare heroes through a comic book about real-life paramedics/EMT techs and their heroism.

Each character and story stems from the experiences of real people who provide healthcare throughout AHN’s 13 hospital facilities in Western Pennsylvania, serving as amalgams of the dozens of EMT techs/paramedics who shared their stories.

The limited-print run comic books are distributed to patients for free throughout AHN hospitals, with an e-reader version available on Marvel.com.

This tale of the never-ending struggle is written by Sean Ryan, and illustrated by Ze Carlos.

On a positive note, all the stories in this comic are set during the winter, so it's cool (pun again intended) to read during this heat wave!
