Universal's New Frankenstein Series Redefines the Monster's Origin with Shocking New 'Son'

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This summer, Boris Karloff’s indelible version of Frankenstein's Monster will be brought to life once more thanks to an all-new series from Skybound Entertainment. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein captured the imagination of the world after it was published in 1818. The later Universal Monsters adaptation in 1931 equally chilled audiences the world over with its unforgettable interpretation of the classic story.

Close The solicitations also provide a little more clarity as to what readers can expect, including an all-new "son" of Frankenstein's Monster: Skybound’s Frankenstein Series Will Bring the Monster to Life, Piece By Piece Close With the successful launches of previous Universal Monsters series, Dracula and The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Skybound is off to a running start in bringing these classic horror properties to comics. The new Frankenstein comic sounds like it will continue the trend, and writer/artist Michael Walsh is the perfect choice for the series, as evidenced by his previous Image Comics horror series The Silver Coin.

Walsh looks to be taking a similar approach to Frankenstein as he did with The Silver Coin. That series acts as a horror anthology, with each installment telling different tales of people who come into possession of a cursed coin. Judging by the preview for the first issue, Universal Monsters: Frankenstein will pack quite the emotional wallop in detailing the origins of the Monster’s various body parts.
