Quick query
Nothing world-shaking this time. 
Many, many years ago, more than I care to remember (the 11-Plus still seems like yesterday, where have the last 46 years gone?!), I was getting the Star Wars comic. One of the strips told the story of an Egyptologist (I think he was - certainly pyramids were part of the story) and his daughter...who were on the run from aliens who were very tall and thin, had very elongated heads, and fed on psychic energy. They had advanced energy weapons tech, too, and were intent upon invasion.
Can anyone remember anything about the series? I'd find it on Google, but I can't even recall its name. TIA!

This?
Quote:
The UFO Connection, an altogether darker view of human contact with alien beings. British readers might recall it as a back-up strip in Star Wars Weekly and remember that crushing feeling after the last instalment, thinking ‘surely this can’t be how it ends…’
...
Our heroes travel to Egypt, reasoning that they can use the power of the Great Pyramid at Giza to drive away the alien parasites for good. Safe inside the portable pyramid, Tom and Sissie both see a horrifying vision of the aliens extracting the psychic energy from abducted human beings to ‘feed’ their newborn children, as they have become unable to reproduce by normal means.

Just searched using a few key words instead "star wars comic egypt aliens".
