The Case of the Mummy Express, pg 40
Posted on April 1, 2026 by Jerzy Drozd

In fighting those who serve devils one always has this on one’s side; their Masters hate them as much as they hate us. The moment we disable the human pawns enough to make them useless to Hell, their own Masters finish the work for us. They break their tools. - C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength

  • My new middle-grade graphic novel, The Inscrutable Doctor Baer!

Hi! my name is Jerzy Drozd, and I am a cartoonist and teaching artist. I wrote and drew Science Comics: Rockets with my wife, Anne Drozd. I am one of the artists of The Warren Commission Report.

I lead cartooning workshops for children and teens in libraries and schools, as well as for teachers who want to bring comics to the classroom. I’m a member of the Ohio Arts Council’s Teaching Artist Roster. I also podcast about comics and how to make them.

I’ve drawn special projects for Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, Marvel Comics, VIZ Media, and others. My latest graphic novel is a middle-grade fantasy called The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue.
