On March 15, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Even before then,  dozens of comics about COVID-19 began coming across our news and social media feeds.

Graphic Medicine website co-managers MK Czerwiec, RN and Alice Jaggers, MSLS have curated many of them here. We include only comics with reliable information in the following categories. Click on the buttons below to see the comics in that category. Kevin Wolf wrote a review of several COVID titles which you can read here.

As of 09/20/20, the most recent comic in each category will be displayed first.

Please let us know if you come across comics that should be included here.

COVID-19 Comics: Ethics/Social Justice

COVID-19 Comics: By/About Caregivers

    What a great resource! When I click on the first 2 categories, it takes me to that category of comics, but for the others, it does not.

    Thank you for featuring my comic! I’ve just published an revised and extended version of the Coronavirus comic based on new advisories given by various national health organisations as well as WHO and CDC. The comic has been vetted by Dr. Pamela Lee Yew Fong.

    The revised comic can be found here: https://www.comicsforgood.com/weimankow/how-covid-19-spreads

    Can you help to update my section with a link to the updated version of the comic as well? You can also replace the old one with this one, since it is more medically accurate. Thanks!

    Wonderful site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any
    message boards that cover the same topics discussed here?
    I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable
    people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
    Bless you!
