Universal Monsters: The Mummy #1

Synopsis

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.
