Skybound Announces Its Latest Universal Monsters Miniseries – ‘Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man’

Skybound, Image Comics, and Universal Products & Experiences, have announced their latest joint venture: Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man, a new four-issue limited comic book series from writer James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing the Children, Exquisite Corpses), artist DANI (The Low, Low Woods, Coffin Bound) and colourist Brad Simpson. The debut issue is set to drop this August.

Based on the H.G. Wells novel, and the classic Universal film of 1933, here’s the full synopsis and preview of the first issue:

“Jack Griffin has always been invisible to the people around him—at least in his own mind. But when an experimental breakthrough presents a path to make his dreams of invisibility a reality, no one—not even the woman he loves—will stand in his way. 

Witness Griffin’s legendary descent into madness as his humanity fades away and the monster inside is revealed, leaving only…The Invisible Man!” 

Here’s Tynion IV reflecting on his long wait to tackle this clasic horror character:

“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. 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.” 

DANI added:

“Working on The Invisible Man comic book series with such a great creative team is a dream come true I can’t wait to show the world the unshowable!”
