LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (August 29, 2024) — Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed a stacked slate of variant covers and interior pages from Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #2, the next issue of the four-issue limited comic book series from award-winning artist/writer Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) and colorist Toni-Marie Griffin (Black Hammer/Justice League). This next installment of the new horror classic hits comic book shops September 25, 2024.
Comics superstar Michael Walsh resurrects one of the most iconic monsters of all time in a jaw-dropping, re-imagining of the horror hit. Readers can expect each issue of the limited series to tell the shocking story behind one of the corpse parts used to create the unforgettable monster in the original film.
In this second issue, Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant Fritz has one mission – to find the supplies to make a new human being. However, a chance encounter between a police officer and a murderer may ruin even the best laid plans…
In addition to the main cover by Michael Walsh, Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #2 boasts a variant cover lineup from top artists including Mike Del Mundo, Anwita Citriya, and Martin Simmonds, as well as the second of a four-part connecting cover series by Francesco Francavilla.
Universal Monsters: Frankenstein is the third Universal Monsters comics series launch from Skybound, following James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Dracula (which netted Simmonds a BEST PAINTER/MULTIMEDIA ARTIST (INTERIOR ART) Eisner Award nomination) and Dan Watters, Ram V, and Matthew Roberts’ Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives! Frankenstein will be followed by more new limited series pairing the biggest names in comics with pop culture’s most iconic monsters.
