Sisters in Medicine SUE AND SALLY SMITH: FLYING NURSES "No Serum for Greed"

Though the title characters usually worked together...

...both Sue and Sally also had solo globe-trotting adventures!

The fraternal-twin Smith sisters worked for "Emergency Corps", a Doctors Without Borders-type organization that sent medical personnel to hot spots all over the world.

From forest fires to typhus outbreaks, the Flying Nurses could handle it all, as this never-reprinted story by writer Joe Gill, penciler Joe Sinnott and inker Vince Colletta from Charlton's Sue and Sally Smith: Flying Nurses #48 (1962) proves!

Notes: #48 was the duo's first issue!
Before that, the comic was My Secret Life, but after the duo debuted in #47...

...the book was renamed for them!

No mention of a psychic link the two shared in this debut tale was ever made again...which is a shame, because it really would have come in handy for them in later stories...at least until the book was cancelled with #54!

UNCANNY TALES "Cure"

Sometimes solving the puzzle of a pandemic is worse than the disease itself...

...as this never-reprinted tale set in the then-future year of 1976 from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #45 (1956) demonstrates!

It should be pointed out that the "common cold" virus, though known to mankind since 1600 BC, has never been known to affect any other, non-human, species!

CoronaVirus Comics ALICE MATHESON "Day Z: Chapter 3: Suspicion

We have Already Seen...

...the dead are returning to...life (sorta).

While they are reanimating, they're not sentient, operating on pure instinct!

The staff of St Mary's, London's best hospital, including RN Alice Matheson, an "Angel of Death" who secretly euthanizes terminally-ill patients and was inadvertently the first in the hospital to witness the phenomenon when one of her "clients" refused to rest in peace, will gather to assess the situation and utilize six infected, extremely-ambulatory test subjects to find a solution...

The supervisor suspects, but will he act on his suspicions or let the matter wait until this matter of the ambulatory undead is all, as the British say, "sorted out"?

CoronaVirus Comics ALICE MATHESON "Day Z: Introduction: Susan Cross"

Alice Matheson is a nurse with a difference!

She's not your typical Angel of Mercy...not by a long shot!

What do you do when you're an Angel of Death, and those whom you're trying to bring peace to won't rest in peace?

That's how this graphic novel series from France by writer Jean-Luc Istin and illustrator Philippe Vandaële begins!

As you may have guessed from the title, the premiere volume deals with the very beginning of the plague and how our...heroine...for want of a better word, has to handle new, unknown, circumstances which threaten to derail what she sees as her purpose...ending the suffering of terminally-ill patients!

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!
