by Olly MacNamee
Skybound/Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, has shared the connecting variant cover lineup by Anwita Citriya (Creepshow, The Big Burn) for Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera #1, from writer Tyler Boss (You’ll Do Bad Things), and artist Martin Simmonds (Universal Monsters: Dracula, The Department of Truth). This series of covers runs across all four issues of this miniseries, and features the “leading lady, Christine, the Phantom himself, and the ghastly mysteries behind the Paris Opera House curtain”.


Here’s more:
“A young soprano, Christine, finds her career in chaos after a series of violent crimes plagues the Paris Opera House. But the show must go on, and Christine will discover that no one — especially the mysterious voice whispering from the eaves – is what they seem. As an old friend returns to investigate these surprising attacks, Christine will discover her connection to the truth and the man known as … Phantom of the Opera.”


Citriya said of this opportunity:
“I grew up watching The Phantom of the Opera, so receiving this offer felt truly surreal. It’s an incredible honor to illustrate the covers for such an iconic and much beloved 1925 film.”
Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera #1 (of 4) is out on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026 from Skybound/Image Comics.
