In "Where Mummies Prowl!", the city reels from a string of inexplicable bank robberies—each victim dead with no wounds, their minds shattered by unseen terror. When Lance Brant investigates, he uncovers a chilling connection to a reformed criminal mastermind, False Face, and a dangerously intelligent teen named Roger Carstairs, whose mind-altering powers manifest as horrifying visions of swarming insects. With Carl Hubbell handling both pencils and inks, and Carl Burgos bringing the eerie cover to life, this 1953 issue delivers a classic mystery with a twist that redefines what it means to be a super-being.
