The first Skybound „Universal Monsters“ comic was „Dracula“ by writer James Tynion IV and artist Martin Simmonds. Next was „The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives“ by Dan Watters, Ram V, and artist Matthew Roberts.“ „Frankenstein“ (written and drawn by Michael Walsh) wrapped up this past November and so „The Mummy“ is the logical next Auswahl.
„What I enjoy the most about ‚The Mummy‘ is the romance underlying all the horror. A mortal man defies ancient gods to bring his dead lover back to life and pays the ultimate price, transformed thousands of years later into a walking specter of death. The Mummy is intrinsically a tragic figure driven by his own pain and loss, his understandable human emotions twisted into acts. It’s been a thrill to tell this story from the point of view of Helen, the modern incarnation of The Mummy’s long dead love, and illustrate her growing awareness of the heartbroken horror that is lurking in the shadows of early 20th century Egypt. I hope fans of all versions of ‚The Mummy‘ enjoy my take on this romantically horrifying (or horrifyingly romantic) story .“
