Comments: Helen Grosvenor is at an exhibit of the Egyptian Princess Ankh-Es-En-Amun. The two of them do look a like. Something is going on with Helen and she is hearing a voice. What is the connection she has with the Princess? What is going on here?
The art fits the place and time perfectly. The characters are illustrated as you would expect from the movies. The way they go about doing things also makes you think of watching a movie.
As Helen meets an old man, they feel a connection immediately.
This issue has no action at all. No mummy in it either. There is a slight building of suspense. Plus it is made clear people are in danger.
There is a curse that is not talked about much.
The interaction Helen has with others is the main focus of this issue. Helen is connected to the Princess and through her connection she has insight into others. Her character is done beautifully to fit in the time and with her situation in life. She is perfect for the role she has here.
