Universal Monsters: The Mummy #1

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.
