It’s been a month or so since we had a spooky mummy story… so here you go! “Spooky Mummy Friday” lumberin’ atcha--- and some great Bob Powell artwork too!
Thanks for posting this story. Years ago, I hung out at weekend flea markets and picked up all of Bob Powell's Harvey horror I could find. They could be had for a song then, compared to today. But for me at the time, even $5 - $10 for a comic was a lot.
The few I got, I sold or turned over into other comics within a few years. So they live for me mainly as a memory now. So thanks for this beautiful blast of horror and nostalgia.
Great artwork!love the evil face of the mummy!i remember that in THE COMIC BOOK-BOOK,Don Thompson describes a story about "mummies sucking peoples guts out through their mouths" wonder if this was it?,it's certainly tamer than he made it out to be if it is.
I just noticed on page four, bottom panel on the left... you can see some pink color on the mummy's neck. It gives the impression that he's just some dude wearing a mummy mask.

ReplyDeleteI fear those days are long gone... I barely find anything good at flea markets anymore too, even from the silver or bronze age.

ReplyDeleteWhen oh when will these mad scientists learn? No good ever comes of reanimating the dead!
ReplyDeleteBut it is fun to watch them wreak havoc.
