Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused by a virus. Spread by physical contact or through the air, it is a leading cause of death globally among young children. Carnival of Contagion, an entertaining graphic novel about the dangers of measles, traces the adventures of a group of young adults as they enter a viral fantasy world run by a mysterious and seductive carnival barker. Illustrated by Marvel and DC Comics artist Bob Hall and including an original essay written by the award-winning science journalist Carl Zimmer, Carnival of Contagion presents a unique and fascinating story about one of the world’s most deadly viruses.
"Lincoln comics writer and artist Bob Hall has teamed up with the University of Nebraska Museum and Nebraska research virologists to tell the story of the world's most deadly virus."—Micah Mertes, Omaha World-Herald

In Carnival of Contagion, Hall employs the visual storytelling skills he’s brought to characters like The Avengers and Batman on a powerful tale that is both entertaining and informative.”—Danny Fingeroth, longtime Marvel writer and editor and author of Superman on the Couch: What Superheroes Really Tell Us About Ourselves and Our Society
