#and it's a shame this isis stuff never took off like thor did

Back when I was reading the Kane Chronicles at school and also reading comics at home, I kept wondering why we don't see egyptian gods in comics the same way we see Greek or Norse gods. Because superhero comics have Thor, Hercules, Loki, Ares and more. But we never really see any egyptian gods. We see egyptian mythology sometimes, due to characters like Doctor Fate and Black Adam and Moon Knight. But we never really see the egyptian gods.

I was starting to think there'd be no egyptian gods or goddesses represented, but I accidentally found one! Filmation did a Captain Marvel/Shazam tv show, and they produced a second superhero show to accompany it. A superhero show about the goddess Isis. This show got it's own comic (albeit a comic only 8 issues in length), and I think it's one of the only superhero comics to feature an egyptian god or goddess as the star.
