In this issue, the adventure really begins to heat up - literally! - as Ash and the Wise Man, with Necronomicon in (severed) hand, must cross the desert wastelands of sunny Egypt in the hopes of thwarting The Book of the Dead's plans to plunge the world into darkness! But, the Necronomicon proves it still has a few tricks up its "sleeve" when Ash's severed hand joins with an ancient mummy to become Evil Egyptian Ash! Also in this issue: the return of Sheila, Arthur, and Henry The Red! And, the death of a beloved character!
