The Third Chapter of the Four-Part Limited Series by Michael Walsh Continues Here!  

“Whether Walsh is depicting the necrotic hellscape of Frankenstein’s work or modernizing the gothic soul of Shelley’s source material, Universal Monsters: Frankenstein is bound to be the must-read comic of this Halloween season.” – ComicBook.com 

“Michael Walsh knocks it out of the park. This is an exceptional comic that breathes new life into Frankenstein’s monster while lovingly embracing a 90-year-old movie.” – Monkeys Fighting Robots 

Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed a stacked slate of variant covers and interior pages from Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #3, the next issue of the four-issue limited comic book series from award-winning artist/writer Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) and colorist Toni-Marie Griffin (Black Hammer/Justice League). This penultimate installment of the new horror classic hits comic book shops October 23, 2024. 

Comics superstar Michael Walsh resurrects one of the most iconic monsters of all time in a jaw-dropping, re-imagining of the horror hit. Readers can expect each issue of the limited series to tell the shocking story behind one of the corpse parts used to create the unforgettable monster in the original film. 

In this third issue, Elizabeth Lavenza discovers the truth about her fiancée Dr. Henry Frankenstein–and his true intentions– after presenting him with the one gift he desires. But is it too late to save those she loves? 

In addition to the main cover by Michael Walsh, Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #3 boasts a variant cover lineup from top artists including Julian Totino Tedesco, Reiko Murakami, and Chris Stevens, as well as the third of a four-part connecting cover series by Francesco Francavilla. 

Universal Monsters: Frankenstein is the third Universal Monsters comics series launch from Skybound, following James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Dracula (which netted Simmonds a BEST PAINTER/MULTIMEDIA ARTIST (INTERIOR ART) Eisner Award nomination) and Dan Watters, Ram V, and Matthew Roberts’ Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives! Frankenstein will be followed by more new limited series pairing the biggest names in comics with pop culture’s most iconic monsters.
