The Case of the Mummy Express, pgs 42-43
Posted on April 15, 2026 by Jerzy Drozd

An update so big it's standing in for this week and next! A two-page spread wherein the action and stakes are turned up a bit.

Special thanks to color assistant Wyvern Barker. This fella worked very hard on this spread, and I appreciate it!

Let me take this moment to remind you that you can get your own Transit Doll pendant over on my Etsy store. These hand-made porcelain objects are each a one-of-a-kind artifact from the world of Doctor Baer, and each one comes packed with a lore sheet:

  • My new middle-grade graphic novel, The Inscrutable Doctor Baer!

Hi! my name is Jerzy Drozd, and I am a cartoonist and teaching artist. I wrote and drew Science Comics: Rockets with my wife, Anne Drozd. I am one of the artists of The Warren Commission Report.

I lead cartooning workshops for children and teens in libraries and schools, as well as for teachers who want to bring comics to the classroom. I’m a member of the Ohio Arts Council’s Teaching Artist Roster. I also podcast about comics and how to make them.

I’ve drawn special projects for Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, Marvel Comics, VIZ Media, and others. My latest graphic novel is a middle-grade fantasy called The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue.
