Introduction to the Invisible Man
The Invisible Man is a horror icon that has been reimagined by Skybound Entertainment. The publisher has announced that Universal Monster: The Invisible Man #1 will receive a second printing in October after selling out its first publication in August. This series has been celebrated as one of the strongest entries in Skybound’s Universal Monsters Line to date.
The Story Behind the Invisible Man
The character of the Invisible Man should be no stranger to casual fans, as he was one of the most celebrated horror films of the decade in The Invisible Man. The story that played the leading role takes over a domestic violence survivor, Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, The Handmaid’s Tale). The new run has been called a simple decision by editorial director Alex Antone, who said: "It’s official – James Tynion IV and Dani’s Invisible Man is an immediate classic! We are excited to print even more copies of the haunting first edition with a new blood-soaked cover by longtime Universal Monster cover artist Maria Wolf and Mike Spicer!"
The History of the Invisible Man
H.G. Wells first unleashed The Invisible Man on readers in 1897, and the adaptation by Universal Pictures in 1933 transformed the character into one of the defined horror icons of the studio. Almost 130 years later, the story of Jack Griffin’s descent into madness feels just as strong. The official summary of Skybound teases the new approach: "Jack Griffin was always invisible to the people around him – at least in his own head. But when an experimental breakthrough offers a way to realize his dreams of invisibility, nobody – not even the woman he loves – can witness Griffin’s legendary descent into madness as his humanity fades away and the monster takes over."
The New Series
The emphasis arrives on October 1st with a striking new cover, which adds to an already impressive line that includes Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!, Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy. With variant covers from heavyweights such as Joshua Middleton, David, Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, Alex Ross, and Christian Ward, the series continues to combine horror tradition with modern art. For fans of the Universal Monsters, it’s a further reminder that these centuries-old nightmares still have a lot of life.
Behind the Scenes
The series is written by Eisner Award winner James Tynion IV, with art by Dani, colors by Brad Simpson, and letters by Becca Carey. The team has worked together to bring this classic horror icon back to life in a new and exciting way. The Invisible Man is a must-read for fans of horror and comics alike, and its success has led to a second printing, which is a testament to its popularity.
