The Mummy in comic books!

The most derided of all the classic monsters! He gets so little respect that he can't even get a remake film made without it being turned into a comedy/action adventure. Poor Mummy.

Rod Barnett said...: Depends on your definition of 'good'. I enjoy the run of Living Mummy stories while knowing that they meander a bit too much. I don't think there was ever a strong creative drive behind the character - but I need to reread them to see if my memory is accurate.; Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Anonymous said...: sounds like it had the same problems as the Marvel Frankenstein series - I recently worked my way through those, and I do mean work - that was a ship lost at sea, no clue where it was going after the first 3 issues; Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Rod Barnett said...: I actually enjoyed the Marvel Frankenstein comic although it did meander badly. It may have been because I was so happy to finally have the ability to read the entire run with no missing issues but I still loved it!; Wednesday, October 15, 2014
