History:
(Supernatural Thrillers I#10) - Racha Meyer was a lone Israeli soldier in the desert who found herself pursued by an enemy tank piloted by Achmed and Hassam. The tank spent its last explosive shell firing at Racha and narrowly missing her, but the crew simply laughed, confident they would kill her in time.
Fleeing the tank, Racha ran into the Living Mummy, who was wandering through the area. Although Racha was frightened by the Living Mummy's appearance he was struck by her beauty and instinctively wanted to protect her. Achmed and Hassam began firing their tank's .50 caliber machine gun at the Living Mummy but he took their assault, unaffected. Realizing the Living Mummy was impervious to the tank's attacks, Racha used him as a shield. When the tank drew in closer she threw a grenade at it, destroying the vehicle and killing both enemy soldiers. As the Living Mummy prepared to continue his journey, Racha paused to tell him he had helped her prove herself in combat and sent him off saying, "Shalom, my mysterious friend... shalom."
Comments: Created by Tony Isabella, Len Wein, Val Mayerik and Dan Adkins.
This entire scenario was no doubt inspired by the real-life "Six-Day War" between Israel and Egypt in 1967.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Racha Meyer should not be confused with:
Achmed and Hassam were two soldiers (possibly Egyptian) who commanded a tank. They encountered Racha Meyer in the desert and at first seemed to view her as game to be pursued, laughing even after using up their last shell. When the Living Mummy appeared they fired the tank's .50 caliber machine gun at him but he was immune to the bullets. Racha used the Living Mummy as cover to shield her from the tank's fire and hurled a grenade at the tank, blowing it up and killing Achmed and Hassam.
