Fascinated by an Egyptian history exhibit at the county fair, young Wallace Brundle pays one visit too many and is caught up in a desperate fight between good and evil. Can a small boy do anything to aid the ancient and mysterious Champion of Ra as he struggles against the dark power of necromancer Apollo Champagne? A ripping tale of magic, villainy, courage, and the ability of a little guy to sway great matters by turning up where he isn’t expected. Mark Rudolph’s Curse of the Pharaohs is a story in the online and printed comics-magazine Sugary Serials, which runs short-story comics by different creators, all aiming at a common “Saturday morning cartoon” sensibility.
