Let's see who can name this one?Trying to pin down the name of a strip from the late sixties, British, probably something like Lion or thunder or similar. Featured a character who lived in a pyramid shaped mansion, had a living mummy to carry out crimes and take out enemies. If I remember rightly the final episode had the character and the mummy disappearing over the Atlantic.

Another Comics Query
OK, here's one that sounds absolutely barking so any help is appreciated.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Re: Another Comics Query
That sounds like Dr Mesmer's Revenge, in which the titular bad guy had a mummy sidekick. The mummy was deactivated in the final episode, and was last seen in a plane headed for Egypt, the plane disappearing into a giant cloud, never to be seen again.

My thanks to Steve Holland's book about Lion for most of the above.

Thanks for that David. I have put it on Facebook in the Comic Nostalgia group and let's see if it's the story that our questor seeks.davidandrewsimpson wrote:That sounds like Dr Mesmer's Revenge, in which the titular bad guy had a mummy sidekick.

Re: Another Comics Query
I don't recognise this word questor, and perhaps more to the point, nor does my copy of The New Oxford Dictionary Of English. It does offer querist though so you could give that an airing, Col, at some appropriate future date.colcool007 wrote:questor

Questor featured in the Wizard in the 1970s so that is good enough for me.Phoenix wrote:I don't recognise this word questor, and perhaps more to the point, nor does my copy of The New Oxford Dictionary Of English.

Re: Another Comics Query
On the subject of words, the other night (on the Horror channel) Tuvok, in Start Trek Voyager, used the word sophistry which I was immensely impressed by. I have never heard it any film or tv show before.
My mate Steve took umbrage when I suggested Tuvok was a better Vulcan character than Mr Spock. Voyager is my favourite of the Star Trek shows.
