Thing and Mummy fight an old Egyptian sorcerer. Pretty bad, pretty dull.
This is the first time Living Mummy clearly appears in Marvel continuity.

I’m pretty certain the Living Mummy’s entire solo series, published in Marvel’s “Supernatural Thrillers” series, was set firmly in mainstream Marvel-616 continuity. He/it also turned up in a couple of issues of ‘Captain America’ during that series’ 1988 “Bloodstone Quest” storyline. I know that Marvel used to be known as the “House of Ideas”, and all, but, even a half-century later, I just cannot believe that they thought they could make permanent, ongoing series out of “ideas” like ‘Frankenstein’s Monster’, ‘Werewolf By Night’, ‘Morbius the Vampire’, ‘Man-Wolf’, ( TWO werewolf series-??? ) ‘Man-Thing’, ‘The Manphibian’, ‘Son of Satan’, ‘Satana, the Devil’s Daughter’, ‘Gabriel, Devil-Hunter’, and………..the ‘Living Mummy’. Really, the ONLY ‘horror’ series that had ANY potential of lasting more than a year or two was ‘The Tomb of Dracula’, and that celebrated series only lasted as long as IT did, was because of the excellence of it’s creative team: Archie Goodwin, Marv Wolfman, ( his actual, honest-to-goodness, legal Christian name ) and, above all, the magnificently atmospheric artwork of “Gentleman” Gene Colan- the Master of Mood! Complimented by, of course, the titanic inks of “Terrific ” Tom Palmer! But- the ‘Living Mummy’-?? Really, Marvel-?? Okay.
