Golden Age Comics - Ibis the Invincible

I stumbled across a series of interesting sites recently, one being Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine.  In case the name leaves any doubt, "Pappy" has scanned tons of classic comic books for all to enjoy.  In one recent post, Pappy featured Ibis the Invincible, a 1943 comic about an ancient Egyptian prince/sorcerer who put himself to sleep for 4000 years to be reunited with his love, who was struck by a magic arrow that put her to sleep for 4000 years.
