I think the best mummy covers of all time are Tales to Astonish #8 (don't have but am looking for the right copy) and Tales of Suspense #32 (have a nice VF copy). am curious to see what you post... if it shows up, that is.

I tried to post the cover to Tales To Astonish #8, but alas, the MSN page that hosts my images is flaky. Tales of Suspense #32 is the beehive cover. Are you talking about Tales To Astonish #31? Journey Into Mystery #61 also has a mummy cover. If you go back to the Atlas comics, the mummy on the cover of Mystic #22 is very impressive.

If you get your scan under 150kb you can host the image on this site. I've had trouble trying to host things from Yahoo -- they want your visitors to come to Yahoo to see the advertisements, they don't want to allow a link to the image.

 

Nice list. I was thinking about the Mystic 22 (Heath cover) as I was reading the thread. It has one of the most gruesome Joe Maneely stories that I'm aware of , but I haven't yet read them all.

after looking it up, I'm not a huge fan of the cover for Mystic #22, but had never seen it before so thanks.

 

and JIM #61 is probably my #3 mummy cover behind TTA#8 and TOS #31

THAT's definitely what I was thinking of. I get my pre-heroes mixed-up sometimes. I just bought one of those off eBay recently from a guy in London. can't wait for it to arrive. supposed to be VF, but we'll see. as long as it's 6.0 or better I'm happy.

Thanks. I purchased of Ebay about two years ago, and the scan was one of my early ones......the contrast is probably pushed a little too much. But it is a nice book, and a fun one to have.
