Like the two serials featuring Nyoka; Jungle Girl and Perils of Nyoka, this never-reprinted story from Fawcett's Nyoka the Jungle Girl #56 (1951) was broken up into chapters ending in cliffhangers!

CoronaVirus Captain's Library STAR WARS "Touch of the Goddess" Conclusion

...well, we haven't seen this...yet!
Luke, Lando, Han, and Chewbacca seek to return two stolen statues of "The Dancing Goddess" and "The Minstrel" to give the terminally-ill population of Godo comfort in their last days.
Han deduces the missing statues are part of a gigantic part-organic machine disguised as a temple which, when functioning, suppressed the epidemic!
While Han and Luke head to recover The Minstrel, Lando and Chewbacca seek out The Dancing Lady, currently in the possession of Drebble, a rival...scoundrel...

If only Covid-19 could be dealt with so easily...

CoronaVirus Captain's Library STAR WARS "Touch of the Goddess" Part 1

Thought we couldn't find a Star Wars story involving disease or sickness...
... to include in our #coronavirus comics series and celebrate #maythefourthbewithyou ?
Then you must not know us as well as you think!
While this is part of a post-Return of the Jedi story arc, the previous events are of little consequence to understanding this particular tale.
All you need to know is provided by some convenient expositional dialogue...
Will out intrepid Star Warriors succeed?
Perhaps the cover will clue you in!
Written by Jo Duffy, penciled by Ron Frenz and inked by Sam DeLaRosa, Marvel's Star Wars #99 (1985) was part of a longer story arc.
As of this date, the entire original Marvel run is considered non-canon...or an alternate universe where elements of major events occurred...but many relatively-minor events didn't!

CoronaVirus Captain's Library & Theatre MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH Conclusion

As the Red Death sweeps across the land, cruel Prince Prospero shelters his toadying "friends" in his castle while forcing the peasants to survive as best they can in the plague-ridden countryside.
He also lusts for peasant girl Francesca and has taken her (along with her father and betrothed) to his fortress.
But the captive Francesca has strange visions where past, present, and a possible future all intermingle.
Prospero dismisses her dreams and considers what fate should befall his two captives, her father and her beloved Gino.
When an escape attempt fails, the Prince devises a public spectacle to punish the two who mean the most to Francesca...
Not quite as bloody as the movie, but even though Dell Comics didn't belong to the Comics Code, they realized there were some things a newsstand comic couldn't get away with in 1964!
Here's a kool bonus just for you...the trailer to the flick!
There's more contagious cinema coming...soon!
