The Shadow #8
DC's pulp avenger faces ancient horror in this January 1974 thriller, as the cover by Frank Robbins plunges the Shadow — pistol drawn, red scarf flying — into a darkened tomb where a bandage-wrapped mummy looms over a fallen woman. The tagline "Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men?" frames a scene dripping with menace, perfectly pairing the Shadow's golden-age mystique against a monster straight out of nightmare. "Night of the Mummy!" promises exactly the kind of eerie, pulp-flavored adventure that made this DC run such a treat for fans of the character.
