In "When the Mummy Walks," an archaeologist's discovery in a forgotten pyramid unleashes a creature long thought buried—only to find it’s not a ghost of the past, but an alien survivor trapped by its own desperate precautions. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1971 Marvel tale blends ancient mystery with sci-fi surprise, all captured in Kirby’s iconic cover art.
