Virus (comics)

Virus is a Dark Horse Comics comic book, written by Chuck Pfarrer, drawn by Canadian artist Howard Cobb and first published in 1992. The story is about an alien life form which takes over a Chinese Navy research vessel and reconfigures it—using both the damaged electronics and the dead bodies of the crew, it propagates itself by making various "creatures" created out of both organic and inorganic parts. When a salvage ship shows up they have to deal with the life form or be taken over as well.

Pfarrer said in an interview that when he wrote the original story as a script in the early 1990s, the special effects for a film adaptation wouldn't have been possible, so he sold the script to Dark Horse as a comic. It was later filmed (in 1999) as Virus.

gollark: Unrelatedly, a private number has been calling me a few times in the past few days. I have no idea why, since I haven't actually picked up, and Android apparently won't let me block it. How can I make it stop and also who thought arbitrarily being able to hide your number was a good idea?

gollark: Ah. Kite was complaining about it being slow.

gollark: If it's just counting changed pixels, surely you could do that faster than realtime.

gollark: What if you turn lights on or off, or wave around the camera, or something?

gollark: Wait, your lightning thing just counts whether a lot of pixels change between frames?
