The Mummy: A Fresh Twist on the Classic Horror

Ever wondered what happened to the people in the shadow of the Universal Monsters? Skybound Entertainment is diving into that world with their new comic series, The Mummy. This time, the story isn’t about the ancient prince who rose from the dead, but Helen Grosvenor, the woman caught in his centuries-old love story. The comic, written and illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks, runs alongside the iconic 1932 film, but from Helen’s point of view. Helen was a British/Egyptian woman, born to two worlds and fitting into neither, haunted by a childhood encounter with a curse. When mysterious voices draw her back to an Egyptian dig site from her past, she finds herself part of an unexpected tale. The monster, known only as The Mummy, is rising again.Skybound Entertainment has been shining new light on classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Each story offers a fresh take, blending the original tales with new perspectives. The Mummy is their latest addition, promising to continue this trend. This exciting new approach to old stories not only breathes life into classic horror but also opens doors for even more iconic characters to get the same treatment. With creative minds like Faith Erin Hicks at the helm, the Skybound Universal Monsters series is sure to keep horror fans on the edge of their seats.
