SCORPION KING (2002) #2 (Of 2) Art Cover, [VF/NM (9.0)]

Before he became the monstrous human-scorpion hybrid seen in last year's hit The Mummy 2, Mathyus (played by WWF superstar The Rock) was a hero of the Akkadian people, a tribe of warriors in pre-Egyptian times. This issue reveals how his people were wiped out -- at the hands of the evil Memnon. The same month that the new blockbuster, The Scorpion King, hits theaters, Dark Horse concludes the official prequel. Before you see the movie, read this comic and learn the backstory of the hero -- and the secrets of the movie's villain Memnon. Cliff Richards, the favored artist on the Buffy line brings his experience with action-packed Hollywood spinoffs to Dark Horse's newest license.
