Publisher Description. Skybound and Image Comics revealed a connecting covers series by acclaimed artist Luana Vecchio (Lovesick) for Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives. The new four-issue comic book series from the Eisner-Award winning writer Kelly Thompson (Absolute Wonder Woman, Black Widow) and her longtime creative collaborator, Eisner-Award nominated artist Mattia De Iulis (Absolute Wonder Woman, The Cull) debuts in comic book ships on October 28, 2026.
Luana Vecchio’s beautifully illustrated connecting cover series comes together to form one continuous piece of artwork, creating a haunting, gothic portrait of the Universal Monsters icon across all four issues of Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives.
HERE COMES THE BRIDE… Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis reunite once again to deliver the most haunting new horror series of the year. Born in the heart of a thunderstorm, made of stolen flesh, electricity, and monstrous desperation, The Bride lives!
