Skybound Entertainment's Universal Monsters line of comic books will expand this April with Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!, a four-issue limited series that will serve as a full-on sequel to the original film series, including a very classic looking take on production artist Millicent Patrick's beloved Gill-man design. The series arrives just in time for the original 1954 film's 70th anniversary.
Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! will be co-written by Dan Watters and Ram V, with art from Matthew Roberts and colorist Dave Stewart. Along with the classic Gill-man monster, the comic will bring back the character Doctor Edwin Thompson, played by Whit Bissel in the original 1954 film.
