BLUE BEETLE and the Mummy Who Never Died!

We're going to start off the 13 Days of Halloween: Super Heroes vs the Supernatural theme with a Golden-Age Blue Beetle thriller!!

Well, I guess it's not really a "thriller" by today's standards...but I'm sure the kiddies back in the day were on the edge of their seats to see how ol' Dan Garrett was going to get out of this one!!

Or maybe not. But it's still got a mummy in it, and mummies are cool on Halloween!!!

"We sure got rid of the BLUE BEETLE that time!"

Smashing down upon underworld rackets comes the Blue Beetle. Made almost invulnerable by special armor and given super-energy by vitamin 2X, he crusades for law and justice. None know that in reality he is Dan Garret, a rookie policeman...
