"Charming and funny...Entertaining and wittily executed"
-Publisher's Weekly (starred review)
The Mummy is an homage to old-fashioned stories of crime and adventure. But what starts off as a straightforward adventure yarn turns into something else entirely, involving ghosts and Japanese explorers and a stage hypnotist.
The story appears in Drawn & Quarterly's Showcase anthology, along with stories by Genevieve Elverum (née Castrée) and Sammy Harkham. It was included in the collection Détour.
Read a sample page.
Publisher's Weekly: "...Broersma rounds out the book with the two-part 'The Mummy,' a charming and funny romp through a mythical mid-20th-century European locale, featuring tongue-in-cheek romance, intrigue and ghosts. Entertaining and wittily executed, it's the perfect complement to the more serious works in this essential new volume."
Comic Book Galaxy: "...The issue ends on a high note, with Matt Broersma's fascinating The Last Voyage of Dr. Frobisher... This too is an outstanding debut, demonstrating both Broersma's cartooning and storytelling sensibilities... Highly recommended."
