The Mummy Rises Once Again In The Two-Issue ‘Universal Monsters: The Mummy Black & White Special’

Skybound and partners Universal are resurrecting the Mummy in two black-and-white specials next year. The original four-issue series, Universal Monsters: The Mummy, was by writer/artist Faith Erin Hicks with Lee Loughbridge on letters. And now you’ll be able to get the whole series, over two special issues, in the raw and remastered.

“In Universal Monsters: The Mummy, Helen Grosvenor is a woman born to two worlds and belonging in neither, forever haunted by a cursed encounter as a child. When unknown voices bring her back to an Egyptian dig site from her past, Helen will unknowingly play an unexpected role in the rise of a monster known only as … The Mummy!” 

“Faith Erin Hicks’ The Mummy stood out right away because it delivered something we’d yet to explore with our line of Universal Monsters comics at the time — Gothic romance,” said Caitlin Chappell, Assistant Editor at Skybound. “Now is the time to fall in love with Universal Monsters: The Mummy in a stunning new presentation.”

Universal Monsters: The Mummy Black & White Special #1 (of 2) is out on Wednesday, 24th February, 2027, with Universal Monsters: The Mummy Black & White Special #2 (of 2)out on Wednesday, 24th March, 2027 from Skybound/Image Comics.
