Terror Tales #2
"Curse of the Mummies" delivers a chilling blend of supernatural dread and old-world mystery in this 1973 Eerie Publications standout. When a greedy tycoon ignores ghostly warnings while drilling in an ancient burial ground, he’s haunted by a spectral Indian maiden—only to later fall for a living woman who eerily resembles her, sparking unease when he has a vision that she may be a vampire. Dick Ayers handles both pencils and inks with a moody precision that heightens the story’s eerie atmosphere.
