Once in a Century Pandemic by Joyce Rice, Eleri Harris, and Sarah Milk.


Robert Ullman made this comic, “Skating on Thin Ice” about the last time sporting championships were cancelled, 100 years ago, due to the 1918 flu pandemic.



Jared Gardner posted Spanish Flu comics on the website for the Drawing Blood exhibit that he curated for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum.


“What Made The Black Death So Deadly & Who Were The Plague Doctors” – animated doc from The Infographics Show
