There are few novels more impactful than Frankenstein. Mary Shelley's 1818 gothic masterpiece is both a horror masterpiece and is often credited as the first ever science fiction novel. It has also inspired countless retellings in the 206 years since it was originally published, including James Whale's 1931 big screen classic starring Boris Karloff. That movie was the first of a whole franchise of Franken-films at Universal Pictures. Now, with Skybound successfully bringing the wider Universal Monsters franchise to comics, Frankenstein's monster is alive once more.
Universal Monsters: Frankenstein is a new four-issue limited series from writer and artist Michael Walsh and colorist Toni-Marie Griffin, and their atmospheric work here offers a fresh take on the material. Newsarama caught up with Walsh to find out more about how this terrifying adaptation came to be and if there are any other Universal monsters he's keen to revive.
