Mummy

The Mummy was the spectral narrator of the second of Fawcett's horror line, ''Beware! Terror Tales.'' In common with his fellow horror host Dr. Death, The Mummy possessed a cadaverous appearance and a sardonic sense of humor, the latter usually displayed at the conclusion of each story. 'Subtle' hints dropped in various stories suggested that he was thousands of years old, having accumulated various supernatural abilities during his long existance. In contrast to Dr. Death, he rarely took a personal role in the tales he wove, preferring to act mainly as master of ceremonies. First appearing in the cover of Beware number 1 (May, 1952), he continued on as the title's host until its cancellation in 1953.
