The Brand New Four-Part Limited Comic Book Series Launches August 2025
Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed superstar artist David Aja’s themed variant cover series for Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man, a new four-issue limited comic book series from Eisner Award-winning, bestselling writer James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing the Children, Exquisite Corpses), acclaimed artist DANI (The Low, Low Woods, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Jinx #1), and colorist Brad Simpson (The Amazing Spider-Man). Unraveling the horrific origins of the iconic monster in an all-new story, this haunting take on The Invisible Man will arrive in comic book shops beginning in August 2025.
Each cover in the “pulp” variant cover series by artist David Aja is a tribute to the seminal Universal Pictures film that inspires the comic, reimagined through Aja’s signature style in noir perfection. This exclusive themed set will appear as the Cover C 1:10 incentive variant for all four issues of the limited series.
Jack Griffin has always been invisible to the people around him—at least in his own mind. But when an experimental breakthrough presents a path to make his dreams of invisibility a reality, no one—not even the woman he loves—will stand in his way.
Witness Griffin’s legendary descent into madness as his humanity fades away and the monster inside is revealed, leaving only…THE INVISIBLE MAN!
In addition to the main cover by DANI & Brad Simpson and the first of the four-part connecting cover series by David Aja, Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man #1 boasts a variant cover lineup from top artists including Joshua Middleton, Rosemary Valero O’Connell, Alex Ross and Christian Ward, as well as a blank sketch cover.
Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man is the fifth Universal Monsters series launch, following James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Dracula (which netted Simmonds a BEST PAINTER/MULTIMEDIA ARTIST (INTERIOR ART) Eisner Award nomination); Ram V, Dan Watters, and Matthew Roberts’ Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!; Michael Walsh’s Frankenstein; and Faith Erin Hicks’ The Mummy. The Invisible Man will be followed by additional new limited series pairing the biggest names in comics with pop culture’s most iconic monsters.
