“The Mummy That Time Forgot”

Part of DC's 1975 "1st Issue Special" showcase series, this issue spotlights Dr. Fate — the golden-helmeted Master of Magic — hurling a crackling bolt of energy at a towering, city-block-sized mummy bearing down on a crowd of fleeing bystanders, all rendered with visceral urgency in a cover by Joe Kubert. The tagline "The Mummy That Time Forgot" sets up a clash between ancient horror and sorcerous heroism that feels both pulpy and mythic. Inside, writer Martin Pasko and artist Walt Simonson bring their own sensibilities to one of DC's most mystically charged characters.
