In sleep he calls to me… Or rather, they call to me, as Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds are the next creative team on Skybound’s Universal Monsters line with The Phantom of the Opera.
“What separates the Phantom of the Opera from the other Universal Monsters is that it’s the only ghost story of the lot,” said Boss via press release. “With the Paris Opera House as our haunted site, and a production of Faust about to be performed, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect collaborator to breathe life into the Phantom of the Opera than Martin Simmonds.”
Added Simmonds, “I’m very excited to be returning to the world of the Universal Monsters for The Phantom of the Opera, this time alongside Tyler Boss, and there’s no better setting for our supernatural horror story than the beautiful architecture of the Paris Opera House and the streets of early 20th Century Paris.”
In the new comic, “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…THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Deep beneath the grand chandelier, the music stirs once more. Boss and Simmonds bring you a horrifying new vision of the story you only think you know!”
Simmonds previously worked on the Dracula miniseries with writer James Tynion IV (who just finished The Invisible Man). The new four issue series Universal Monsters: The Phantom of the Opera #1 will hit stores on February 25, 2026. Check out a preview below.
