Indexer Notes

A sort of hybrid of a comic story and an activity page. Page one and 2 of the 3 panels of page two read as a comic story with Scooby and Shaggy on the trail of a runaway mummy whose bandages are unravelling as it flees.

Panel two of page two is an "activity" panel with the following instructions: "Can you help Shaggy trace the length of the mummy's bandages from the mummy to Scooby-Doo, so that he can unravel this mess?"

As was somewhat common of the Scooby-Doo (DC, 1997 series) title of the time, a maze puzzle is inserted into the story.
