The Egyptian Apothecaries were a human man and a male dognose.

Description[]

Around 2800 B.C., these two men were among the tyrannical King Tutanbuono's Royal Apothecaries. Finding his murderous, pyramid-obsessed tyranny too much too bear, they eventually decided to act on it, feeding the Pharaoh a magical poison that froze him in time until certain magic words were spoken. This only happened five thousand years later, but Tutanbuono found a time machine in this future world and used it to go back to a few minutes after his getting frozen, regaining his power and reducing the Apothecaries to menial laborers.

Behind the scenes[]

They debuted in the 1973 story Money is the Root of Upheaval.

In the original version, they are only referred to as ‘dignitaries’; it is Joe Torcivia's 2018 version which specifically added that they were Royal Apothecaries.
