Synopsis: A group of archaelogists are after possible
hidden treasures of ancient Egyptian tomb cavern. If they have
a dog, they do have also two locals, who try to prevent their
quest. Group finds their treasture and local guys their mummy;
only mummy can prevent stealing.
Comment: Very good story, by Corben himself, of humoristic
point of view for ancient treasture stealing vs. mummy variation.
Pastellic looking, dark colors look great. Exceptionally brilliant
ending (from the moment mummy wakes up).
