It's been awhile since we got ourselves good 'n mummified on a Monday, so here's one from Stan Lee and Paul Reinman, and originally presented in the May 1952 issue of Mystic #8.

When will people just stop judging people by their looks? (Especially possible loner sociopaths?)
I mean; if this guy 8had gotten the power he wanted; I don't think a "Very Special Episode" (Issue?) would do!
Oops! Now I know that if I ever want revenge, I'm not going to go asking the Sphinx. I'll just conjure up a nice friendly demon, or maybe rub a magical lamp. Nothing bad could result from either of those choices!

Well, at least Hugo got it all wrapped up in the end.
Great story up to the end- the Gotcha! fell a little flat for me.
I liked the endng, the 4 panel transformation from geek to dusty mummy totally worked for me
Much as I love Reinman's work, that third panel on Page One makes the "young girl" appear almost as freakish as Hugo.
