Grips #2
In "Death AIDs Death (part 1 of 3)," written by Kris Silver and illustrated by Juan Muro, an ex-Vietnam veteran haunted by the deaths of his wife and child—both lost to AIDS after a tainted blood transfusion—grapples with a devastating sense of injustice. As he confronts the randomness of the disease, he begins to question whether humanity will only rally to defeat it when it becomes an inescapable force in society. The story, rendered with stark emotional weight and striking visuals by Muro, sets a haunting tone for a three-part exploration of loss, fate, and the fragile hope for change.
