Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling writer and artist Faith Erin Hicks (Pumpkinheads, The Nameless city Trilogy) takes the helm, promising a unique and haunting exploration of the classic monster.
“What I enjoy most about The Mummy is the romance underlying all the horror,” hicks shares. “A mortal man defies ancient gods to bring his dead lover back to life and pays the ultimate price, transformed thousands of years later into a walking specter of death. The Mummy is intrinsically a tragic figure driven by his own pain and loss, his understandable human emotions twisted into acts.It’s been a thrill to tell this story from the point of view of Helen, the modern incarnation of The Mummy’s long dead love, and illustrate her growing awareness of the heartbroken horror that is lurking in the shadows of early 20th century egypt. I hope fans of all versions of The Mummy enjoy my take on this romantically horrifying (or horrifyingly romantic) story.”
Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound, adds, “Faith Erin Hicks’ take on The Mummy is singular and breathtaking. While she’s returning to her horror roots, it’s safe to say you’ve never seen Faith Erin Hicks like this before!”
Prepare to be captivated by Hicks’s chilling vision.
