Help needed finding two comic strips - aliens/ egypt related
Posted: 18 Mar 2014, 11:31
Greetings,
I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with my search for two comics I vaguely remember.
I believe that the two strips were featured in annuals, one I’m pretty certain was in a Dandy annual from the late 1990s the other was featured in an annual, maybe Nutty from the 1980s. This is what I can remember about each story.
The first story concerns a small seaport.
There is a giant spherical meteor that sits in the town, which has a brass plaque on it. A second meteor crashes into the sea carrying with it an alien/ god called I think Loki. This creature is green, has webbed hands and feet, is rotund in appearance. The creature gets sick from pollution being pumped into the sea from a recently opened factory, so he decides to block the polluting pipe with the spherical meteor.
The second story concerns the British Museum and mummies.
It features a young boy and a young girl and their grandfather who is a professor at the museum/ discovered the mummy. It turns out the mummy is an alien, called I believe Prince Adam.
He is shot twice by the police, but in the nick of time other Egyptian god aliens rescue him and restore him to full health. His appearance on doing so is like that of the silver surfer. The story ends with the young boy and girl and their grandfather travelling off into space with the aliens.
Any help that anyone can provide with tracking these two comic strips down will be most appreciated.
