Helgonet #11/1978

In "Sfinxen," Helgonet is drawn into a high-stakes race through the sands of Kairo, Egypten, where he teams up with an archaeologist professor to protect a newly discovered queen’s tomb from looters. When the defense fails and the stolen relics vanish inside a coffin, Helgonet must follow the trail—led by ancient secrets and a mysterious shadow—across the desert. Written by Donne Avenell and illustrated by Federico Maidagan, this 1978 Semic issue captures the thrill of forgotten legends, with the cover by Federico Maidagan hinting at the mystery to come.
