Publisher’s description

En Sabah Nur is under the enslavement of Ozymandias who whips him and throws him from the top of a pyramid to his death. Nur rises like a star in the sky with energy beaming out of him, then falls to thr ground. Ozymandias orders the slaves to kill him, instead they worship him. Meanwhile Rama-Tut has the Fantastic Four captured for some reason and thinks he's going to conquer the planet. Nephri takes Nur to her bedroom and he adores her but his vision of Osiris tells him to leave her. Tut orders the slaves to be slaughtered so that they can't hide Nur and then realizes Logos and Nephri have hid him. Tut uses Nephri and Logos to lull Nur into a gathering and offers Nur future rights to his throne. Tut kills Logos when he tries to warn Nur and Nur attacks Tut, with Tut gaining the upper hand in the end using his ultra diode raygun.
