Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, along with Universal Products & Experiences, are bringing another favorite Universal Monsters into the light of day with the new Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man series.
The new four-issue mini-series by writer James Tynion IV and artist DANI offers a new take on the classic story (set in the world of the original film), with an exploration of the origins of Jack Griffin’s invisible serum and madness.
“Going back to the first conversation I had with Skybound about the Universal Monsters line, there were two characters I knew I wanted to work on from the start. We started with Dracula, but in my heart my favorite Universal Monster film has always been The Invisible Man,” said Tynion IV. “It’s a thrill to peel back the bandages and approach Griffin’s story from a whole new angle, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be on this ride with DANI.”
“Working on The Invisible Man comic book series with such a great creative team is a dream come true,” said DANI. “I can’t wait to show the world the unshowable!”
Skybound and Universal have previously released four other Universal Monsters series including Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Dracula, Ram V, Dan Watters, and Matthew Roberts’ Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!, Michael Walsh’s Frankenstein, and Faith Erin Hicks’ The Mummy.
Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man #1 will be available at comic book shops on August 27 in a variety of covers including a blank, sketch variant (that has never been more appropriate in this case).
Check out the standard cover by DANI and Brad Simpson and some of the variant and incentive covers below and stay tuned to Conskipper for all of your Universal Monsters news.
