Back when Skybound and Image Comics announced they were producing a line of comics based on Universal’s classic monster movies, we knew there were four titles coming. Well, guess what? The Universal Monsters line is rising again with Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man. And returning from the first book — that would be Dracula — is writer James Tynion IV, alongside artist DANI.
“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,” said Tynion IV via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “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.”
Added DANI, “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!”
Based on the iconic motion picture, the new series focuses on Jack Griffin, a man who 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.”
“James Tynion IV is one of the best horror writers this industry has ever seen, and THE INVISIBLE MAN is the character DANI was born to draw,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “These two powerhouses have created something truly special with this book… and just like the Invisible Man, comic fans won’t see it coming!”
The Invisible Man follows up on Dracula, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, and the currently running The Mummy. The only question now is: who is taking on The Wolfman?
