The Case of the Mummy Express, pg 28

Special thanks to color assistant/flatter, Phoenix.

The image in this last panel came to me pretty early in The Mummy Express' development. And it's one I really looked forward to drawing. Cue the Indiana Jones music!

It also contrasts nicely with this moment between Doctor Baer and Wilhemina in the first book. From barbarian to protector!

If you haven't read the first story, The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue, you can purchase it here, or find it at your local library!

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.
