Skybound is launching a new comic book series that will be based on the classic Universal Monsters movies and the series will launch with Dracula, which comes from horror comic master James Tynion IV. He wrote the four-issue series with art created by Tynion’s Department of Truth collaborator Martin Simmond.
Tynion said in a statement: “A few times in my life I’ve had the pleasure of writing about one of pop culture’s great icons, but there is something singular about Dracula that made this opportunity too good to pass up.”
She added, “The challenge before me and Martin is to take the bleeding heart of the Universal Pictures classic and find a bold new way to bring the character to life. It’s been one of the most exciting creative challenges of my life, and I’m phenomenal that you can see the horrors we have in store for you.”
Simmonds said, “Dracula has always been one of my favorite horror films. Having the chance to work on an exciting new take on this character alongside my Department of Truth co-creator, James Tynion IV, was something I couldn’t pass up. I’m so excited for readers to experience our take on the classic Universal monster – and I hope you enjoy the direction we take the story.”
In addition to Dracula himself, the series will feature popular supporting characters such as Renfield, Mina Seward, Van Helsing, and more.
