"A broad range of voices covers pandemic experiences in every facet of our lives, from housing to mental health to historical context. Together, these stories highlight the mediums inherent strengths in conveying our complex humanity. Essential and accessible."



-Nate Powell, artist of the March trilogy





"COVID Chronicles will prove to be an indispensable work of graphic medicine, a testimony to a dark but unforgettable chapter in our common history."



-A. David Lewis, author of The Lone and Level Sands





"COVID Chronicles embodies what comics can do so well: its an extraordinary and diverse collection of graphic narratives that bear witness to the pandemic as it continues to rage."



-Josh Neufeld, author of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge





"Like the way panels and gutter space work together in a single comic, the stories in COVID Chronicles work together to link a remarkable variety of experiences from this shared pandemic while simultaneously connecting with the readers own life and imagination. This is the power of such volumes: to relate, to inform, to unify, and to witness. COVID Chronicles will prove to be an indispensable work of graphic medicine, a testimony to a dark but unforgettable chapter in our common history."



-A. David Lewis, author of The Lone and Level Sands





"Wonderful art often emerges from pain and its rippling effects. The virus offers this silver lining of talented folks sharing their moments from 2020s year of hell."



-Paul Levitz, author of 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking
