Sword of Ra – Fantastic Adventures Feb 1951 Egyptian Fantasy Cover
In an ancient Egyptian ritual chamber suffused with torchlit shadow, a robed high priest in a striped nemes headdress leans over a prone woman being unwound from mummy wrappings, while two attendants — one crowned, one bare-chested — look on with grim intensity. This is a world where pharaonic mystery collides with pulp adventure: the featured story 'The Sword of Ra' by Geoff St. Reynard promises supernatural terror wrapped in the trappings of ancient Egypt, rendered in rich, dramatic gouache.
