CoronaVirus Comics DR NEMESIS "Blood-Bank Massacres!"

During World War II, superheroes entered the fray against biological warfare...

...as shown in this story about a doctor turned costumed hero that, due to both graphic gruesomeness and extreme racism, almost redefines "Not Safe For Work"!

Written by longtime pulp (and later paperback) scribe Robert Turner and illustrated by Earl Da Voren, this never-reprinted tale from Ace's Super-Mystery Comics V1N01 (1944) displays the classic propaganda tropes that, unfortunately, endured in the impressionable minds of those who read them long after the war ended!

Trivia: This was Doctor Nemesis' final appearance.

Since the name's trademark had elapsed decades earlier and his original appearances had become Public Domain, Marvel Comics revived and revised the character in the early 1990s.

(Marvel has a tendency to take Golden Age names from defunct companies' characters and reuse them...including Captain Marvel, Daredevil, and Ghost Rider!)

Doctor Nemesis was one of the few superheroes named "Doctor" who was an actual practicing MD!

Others included Dr Mid-Nite (even though he was legally-blind) and Doc Savage!

When Last We Left Our Hot Heroine...

...recruited by the US government to rescue missing astronauts, SuperBitch encounters creepy cosmic perils as she retraces their route...

Sadly, this was SuperBitch's only appearance!

Written and illustrated by Ira Harmon in his only print comics work, this 1977 book was part of the output of little-known underground publisher California Comics, who specialized in scantly-clad (and unclad) action heroines!

Harmon cleaned-up the art and reissued the book as a free download HERE.

Note: We're using a scan of the original 1977 book, so it's worth your time to check out his personally-remastered version!

And, Harmon has apparently gotten back into the comics field with a new line of digital books at Reaction Comics!

SUPERBITCH the THIRD Black Superheroine! (Part 1)

Bet you don't remember this Black superheroine...and her rather...unique...superpowers!
Considering she appeared only once, in a poorly-distributed underground comic, that's not surprising!

The fun continues here

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XII: the Bombardment of Earth"

When Last We Left Our Hero...

Buckle up, fans!
This one is spectacular!

The Captain Marvel Code-Finder was a mail-in premium that would enable you to understand the cryptic messages (like this one) in stories!

Without it, you'd be as helpless as an Axis spy to figure out what the message was!
Now that was an EPIC chapter, almost impossible for even the big-budget movies of the time to duplicate convincingly!
In terms of scale, the closest movie would've been Shape of Things to Come...

...but comics were considered lowbrow, so, it would've been treated more like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers...

With Dr Smashi's demise, the use of offensive racial stereotypes in the serial comes to a temporary end, so...

...the Battle Continues on Wednesday back at...

You'll note Dr Smashi's teeth, which were originally fang-like are now the usual sterotypical "Japanese" buck teeth.
