DAN PARSONS SAFIYA MUMMY #1 (Limit 2 Per Cover) (rel:08/27)

Monster Masters, Dan Parsons & Michael Gordon, delivers their stark grey tone creature feature - Safiya - in a single glorious issue! The story originally serialized in American Mythology Monsters is told the way it was meant to be read, in a single horrifying sitting. Beautiful Egyptologist, Safiya Mahmoud discovers much more than even she bargained for when she and her fellow archeologists uncover a long forgotten sarcophagus buried deep in the heart of the desert. After extensive study and examination at Safiya's ultra-modern Cairo research facility, the truth begins to reveal itself about what they have found. What lies in the State-of-the-Art examination chamber is no ordinary mummified corpse, but "Mernheptan: The Plague Giver,"the most evil, reviled pharaoh in Egyptian History. Despite the concerns of her friends and colleagues, Safiya's obsession with the ancient cadaver intensifies. She works day and night in the laboratory, never leaving the mummy's side until the strange supernatural attraction totally consumes her, with unimaginable and terrifying consequences!
