This unintentionally hilarious story, "The Terror of Akbar", was produced by the Iger Shop for Farrell's STRANGE FANTASY #10 (February-March 1954). An ancient mummy comes back to life and breaks out of his sarcophagus to reclaim his eyes that have been returned to the museum where he is on display. All he has to do is follow the bouncing eyes. A laugh out loud moment is when he has just broken free and is "attracted to the light", a hard thing to do when one is sightless, to say nothing about tracking them down in the first place! Also of note is the name "Akbar" has its origins in India/Pakistan, not Egypt. Artistic license!
