| LOS ANGELES 03/03/2025 — Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed the full cover art for the connecting variant cover series by Guillem March (Karmen, Batman: Pygmalion) for Universal Monsters: The Mummy, the new four-issue limited comic book series from Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling comics creator Faith Erin Hicks (Pumpkinheads, The Nameless City Trilogy).
The four-part connecting cover series captures key moments from Helen Grosvenor’s journey between two worlds, alongside the iconic monster, in gorgeous, vivid color. These covers pay homage to one of the most recognizable characters in all of horror.
Resurrecting one of the most iconic monsters of all time, Hicks’ stunning new take on The Mummy will hit comic book shops beginning in March 2025.
Superstar writer/artist Faith Erin Hicks teams up with colorist Lee Loughridge (Standstill) to present a bold new vision of the iconic Universal Monster, bringing The Mummy to life like never before in this limited series.
Helen Grosvenor is a woman born to two worlds and belonging in neither, forever haunted by a cursed encounter as a child. When unknown voices bring her back to an Egyptian dig site from her past, Helen will unknowingly play an unexpected role in the rise of a monster known only as…THE MUMMY!
In addition to the main cover by Faith Erin Hicks and the first of the four-part connecting cover series by Guillem March, Universal Monsters: The Mummy #1 boasts a variant cover lineup from top artists including Joshua Middleton, Martin Simmonds, and Gabriel Rodriguez, as well as a blank sketch cover.
Universal Monsters: The Mummy is the fourth Universal Monsters series launch, following James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Dracula (which netted Simmonds a BEST PAINTER/MULTIMEDIA ARTIST (INTERIOR ART) Eisner Award nomination); Ram V, Dan Watters, and Matthew Roberts’ Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!; and Michael Walsh’s Frankenstein. The Mummy will be followed by additional new limited series pairing the biggest names in comics with pop culture’s most iconic monsters.
