| The Weird Stories of the Supernatural story is weird alright. And silly. The hero Stuart Taylor and a professor travel back to ancient Egypt and meet King Tut who is depicted as an old man. (In reality, Tut was about 18 when he died.) King Tut thinks nothing of the strangers who are wearing 20th century suits and ties. |
|
| Always so much to choose from, but the great Sheena cover art pulled me into this one. Good pencils all the way through but the best story for me was The Puppeteer’s Ghost. |
