The Mummy

Wrapped in mystery and Silver Age wonder, The Mummy made their eerie debut in My Greatest Adventure #83 in 1963, conjured by the imaginative team of Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani at DC Comics. Emerging at a moment when the Silver Age was pushing storytelling into gloriously strange new territory, this bandaged figure has kept genuinely rarefied company over the decades — sharing pages with the likes of Frankenstein, Dracula, Batman, and The Phantom. With two key-issue appearances among their catalog entries and a publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2006, The Mummy is a compact but collector-worthy presence in DC's rich history, the kind of atmospheric oddity that makes digging through back-issue bins such a rewarding adventure.
