The Black Terror faces off against a green-robed villain and his supernatural minions in a supernatural conflict. In a backup story, archaeologist Peter Ward discovers that four Arab brigands sought to loot the tomb of Pharaoh Am-Re in 1445, and their search for hidden treasure leads to the discovery of a mysterious potion hidden in the pharaoh's sarcophagus rather than gold or jewels.

When two reporters in Mexico spot a bank heist and a pair of masked heroes—The Black Terror and Tim—racing to stop the criminals, their photos make headlines back home.

In a tale whispered from the sands of time, Peter Ward, the Scarab, listens as an ancient Egyptian recounts the legend of Pharaoh Am-Re’s cursed sarcophagus—hidden beneath the desert, guarded by a tribe of fanatics and discovered by a desperate band of four beggars and thieves in 1445. When the quartet drank from a strange, powerful potion before their deaths, they were said to be bound to rise again this very month, their resurrection a grim promise of vengeance from beyond the grave.
