Faith Erin Hicks’ Universal Monsters: The Mummy #1 launches a haunting, personal take on the classic monster, blending childhood memories with adult reflection. Drawing from her own relationship with fear and grief, Hicks reimagines Imhotep not just as a cursed mummy, but as a figure shaped by loss—echoing her own journey after her father’s passing. With her distinctive storytelling and expressive art, she brings a deeply felt, character-driven horror that’s as much about connection as it is about the supernatural.

Series writer Faith Erin Hicks reflects on her childhood fear of horror movies, which she judged based on their scare factor. Despite her fear, she was fascinated by horror and often asked her dad to recount plots from films like Alien and The Shining. As an adult, she finds comfort in certain horror films, particularly creature features that explore themes of love and grief. Inspired by her father's passing, Hicks connects with the character Imhotep from The Mummy, whose inability to move on from loss resonates with her own experiences. She hopes readers enjoy her interpretation of the story.
