Twenty-five
year-old Ben Leonard, a journalist working for the newspaper The
Globe, suddenly discovers that he is the reincarnation of the
mythical Egyptian sun-god Râ, the Lord of Light and King of
Heliopolis, a legendary “lost city” of mysterious Immortals,
which once gave rise to the Ancient Egyptians’ pantheon.
Murdered
by his evil and jealous brother Set, Râ’s soul was hidden inside a
mortal body for millennia by the powers of the wise Thô, to await
the time for him to rise again.
Having
now recovered his true identity and powers, Ben’s awesome task is
to defeat Set and free the Immortals of Heliopolis whom the
villainous Set has turned to stone.
His
only allies in this tremendous battle are his two colleagues,
journalists Pip and Lucy.
Ben
Leonard made his first appearance in 1971 in Kiwi magazine. It was
the creation of Milanese artist Guido Zamperoni (1912-2003).
