Flight to the Fort — Jim Johnson

Tjety, an exiled Ranger of Mayat, and Ruia, a young fisherman's daughter, team up to guide the survivors of a bandit attack through the dangerous and rugged Kekhmet frontier. Can they reach the safety of Fort Sekhmet before foul cultists and their horrible mummified creatures can capture them? Flight to the Fort is the second episode in PISTOLS AND PYRAMIDS, a weird western series best described as an ancient Egyptian-themed spaghetti western with magic. And mummies. Lots of mummies. The print edition includes two B&W illustrations by artist James Hale and a map of Kekhmet.
