Universal Monsters: Frankenstein by Michael Walsh and Toni Marie Griffin would be the subsequent in a line of official Universal Monsters comedian books from Skybound/Image Comics. But it is likely to be somewhat acquainted… has it been created from the limbs of others?
IGN obtained the PR forward of the announcement at ECCC in Seattle this weekend, a four-issue to comply with Universal Monsters: Dracula and Universal Monsters: Creature From the Black Lagoon sequence. With this recreation seeing Dr. Henry Frankenstein robs a police officer’s grave to search out physique components for his new creation, solely to find that the officer’s son remains to be craving for his useless father.
And somewhat bit acquainted to those that learn Mel Smith, Paul H Birch and Frank Cirocco‘s Becoming Frankenstein, printed by 10 Ton Press in 2023. But in fact, all of it goes again to Mary Shelley. It all will get stitched collectively in the long run.
“The story of Dr. Frankenstein and his poor, misunderstood monster is one of the most recognizable and influential horror tales ever told… It’s also one of my favorites,” mentioned Walsh in a press launch. “The original 1931 film from Universal Pictures is a continuing inspiration for my art and storytelling, so, as you can imagine, I was honored to be able to play in that sandbox. Trying to tell an original story while staying true to the canon of that film was an exciting yet daunting prospect. It’s been some of the most fun I’ve had making comic books, and I know that fans of Frankenstein and horror will have a blast experiencing these characters and iconic scenes like never before.”
“Michael Walsh’s take on Frankenstein feels like a comic book classic in the making,” mentioned Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “While each issue stands alone as its own vignette, in a way that only he can, Michael has brilliantly sewn together a brand-new perspective which both lovingly adapts the Universal Pictures film and breathes new life into one of the most important horror stories of all-time.”
Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #1 will likely be launched on the twenty eighth of August, 2024.
