Number 2381: Green Hornet: the mummy done told him

I like stories with mummies. Must be because of my love for mummy movies. This mummy story is from Green Hornet Comics #7 (1942). Grand Comics Database doesn’t know who drew it except to credit artist Arturo Cazeneuve with drawing Green Hornet’s face. I think the rest of it was a job by an art shop. Harvey Comics, as Family Comics, Inc, was licensed to make the comic book of the hit radio show, Green Hornet.

When did a plot to scare people away from the scene of the crime succeed? By that I mean having the crime scene look like something supernatural is happening? I believe such a scene would attract more of the curious, as well as lawmen. Tutankamen (as “Tutankiem”), is the culprit. According to the story, there is a curse on Tutankiem’s tomb, and his mummy is “a thousand years old.” That is at least a couple of thousand years off the real history and death of Tutankamen.
