Your formal, insatiable lust for monstrous horror is absolutely required.
Well, it is October, after all: the time for fall weddings and terrifying celebrations!
Over the last few years, the Skybound imprint of Image Comics has been publishing comic books featuring the original Universal Monsters stable of characters. You know, the original cinematic versions of Dracula, Frankenstein, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Phantom Of The Opera, The Invisible Man, The Mummy and The Wolfman.
We here at Biff Bam Pop! have highlighted a number of them in our various columns.
These have been great books, written and illustrated by some of the best talents in the comic book industry, including: James Tynion IV, Martin Simmonds (you can read our exclusive interview with him about his Dracula artistry right here), Tyler Boss, Ram V, Faith Erin Hicks and many, many others. Each offering has been an update of the classic monsters for a ravenous twenty-first century audience while still staying true to their underlying, timeless, ethos.
Today, Image Comics and Skybound at last unleash their greatest thunder and lightning-laden creation with Universal Monsters: The Bride Of Frankenstein Lives #1.
Universal Monsters: The Bride Of Frankenstein Lives #1
Written by: Kelly Thompson
Illustrated by: Mattia De Lulis
Published by: Image Comics/Skybound
Written and illustrated by fan favourites Kelly Thompson (Absolute Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey, Jem and the Holograms, Nancy Drew, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel. The Cull) and Mattia De Lulis (Absolute Wonder Woman, The Cull, Valkyrie, Jessica Jones), Universal Monsters: The Bride Of Frankenstein Lives is a four-issue monthly horror series that is a direct sequel to the classic 1935 film. It sees everyone’s favourite monster Bride wonder the world, an amnesiac after the destruction of her castle home, trying to understand where she came from, and, perhaps most horrifically, who or what she is!
Can this dead/undead and passionately displeased form survive long enough to discover the answers to mankind/womankind’s most important questions?
As an added affair to the terrifying merriment, the cover of the first issue promises a marital reunion like no other!
It’s alive!
Make the celebratory run to your local comic book shop today and pick up the new Universal Monsters offering with the first issue of Universal Monsters: The Bride Of Frankenstein Lives #1.
Certainly, your love of the comic book, like it’s main protagonist, will surely last forever!
