CoronaVirus Crime Comics SCOTLAND YARD "Little Al of the Secret Service in Case of the Microbe Menace"

When Commies attempt to use biological warfare on US soil...

...only America's brave intelligence agents can uncover and neutralize the threat!

This never-reprinted story from Charlton's crime anthology Scotland Yard #3 (1955) is actually previously-unpublished inventory from Ziff-Davis' Little Al of the Secret Service (previously Little Al of the FBI) that Charlton acquired when Ziff-Davis' short-lived comic division closed and they sold the previously-published and never-published material to recoup costs.

Illustrated by Mike Roy, the story is probably written by Ziff-Davis' comics editor Jerry (Superman) Siegel.

Little Al was called that because, though he was shorter than average but so feisty and determined that he overcame that height disadvantage with martial arts skills and superb deductive abilities.

CoronaVirus Crime Comics ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "Eternal Fires"

A "clever" criminal making a deal with the Devil!

What could possibly go wrong?

(If you asked that question, you've obviously never watched The Twilight Zone...)

Written by editor Richard E Hughes, penciled by Dick Beck, and inked by Art Gates, this tale from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #49 (1953) was relatively-mild for the 1950s "Seduction of the Innocent" era of horror and crime comics!

CoronaVirus Comics MYSTERIES WEIRD AND STRANGE "Death in the Night"

What if a pandemic was deliberately-created?

This never-reprinted story from Superior's Mysteries Weird and Strange #3 (1953) provides a possible answer!

The concept of a criminal deliberately-attempting to infect an entire city (in this case, New York City), isn't exactly new, but this tale does add an entertaining, sensationalistic spin on the concept!
