'ALIAS WOOD & JONES' DEPT. - THE MUMMY...



You're right!  The title of this post makes no sense at all.  It's a
forced wordplay on 'ALIAS SMITH & JONES', the '70s TV show.
Not to worry 'though, I'm about to redeem myself with this superbly-
drawn comic strip adaptation of the 1931 UNIVERSAL movie - 'The
MUMMY'.  Drawn by RUSS JONES (not HEATH, as I absentmind-
edly typed in a previous post) & WALLY WOOD, it's a feast for the
eyes.  Curiously, only Woody gets a mention in the credits, but other
sources cite Jones as well.  I'm not sure in what capacity 'though;
did he pencil and Wally ink, or was it a bit of both?  If anyone
knows for sure, let me know, willya?

I've got a coloured version of this strip, which I'd originally in-
tended to post, but I'll save that for another time.  Here's the black
and white first printing of the tale from MONSTER WORLD #1.
And I've included the cover at the end, so that you know what
you're looking for when you scurry over to eBay.  Enjoy.
