Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis, who have collaborated on Absolute Wonder Woman, among other titles, are the creative team for Skybound’s new Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives series.  The four-issue series will launch on October 28 with 11 covers.

Writer Kelly Thompson explained the focus of the series.  “The original Bride of Frankenstein is a brilliant film exploring the creature’s failed attempts to find friendship and community, and then the desperate act to force others to create that which he cannot find,” she said.  “What it’s not about, however, is how The Bride herself feels about her creation.  Through The Bride of Frankenstein Lives we get the opportunity to explore not only her search for who and what she is, but her search for the women that were destroyed to create her — all brought to striking vivid life via Mattia De Iulis’s incredible visuals.”

Covers are provided by Mattia De Iulis, Joshua Middleton, Artgerm, Luana Vecchio, Rosemary Valero O’Connell, Christian Ward, David Talaski, and Ryan Sook.

This will be the eighth Universal Monsters series from Skybound, following the recently launched Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man (see “’Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man’”).
