Ever wondered what it takes for a microbe to jump host? This 8 page comic follows Steph that Staphylococcus on their journey from cow colony to farmer's nose. Designed as an activity resource for 10-14 year olds, it's delivered by Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre at community and school visits.

Page one of Host Busters! A comic strip where we find the yellow Steph the Staph living in an orange cows nose. Steph is bored and wants to see what's at the edge of the colony so they pack their back with a shield and sword, ready for adventure.

Steph the Staph leaves the middle of the colony, saying goodbye to steve and stomping on staph as they go.. But at the edge, there's a fight with white blood cells ('Brace for attaaaaack!' shout the staph and the white blood cells throw missiles at them) and in the melee, the cow sneezes a big 'ACHOOOOO!!!!' and steph is flung out of one nose into another, all the while screaming 'EEEEEEEE!'

A white blood cell in a strange purple environment drools on Steph the staph (yellow, wearing a turquoise backpack). The white blood cell attacks and the shield from the cow's nose gets horribly dented, so Steph runs away, trying to fix it.

Luckily for yellow Steph, their shield mutates, changing from orange to turquoise - now it protects Steph from the white blood cell, giving Steph time to get their big orange hammer out too. So the white blood cell calls for back up, and Steph manages to hide from the antibodies looking for them.

The white blood cells can't find Steph the Staph in this purple land, and they accuse each other of making things us as they go away. Steph looks at their new cloak, shield and hammer and feels ready for their next adventure!
