Ram V, Dan Watters, Matthew Roberts, and Dave Stewart are the latest to take on a Universal Monsters comic from Skybound, Image Comics and Universal Products & Experience., Universal Monsters: Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives! is a new four-issue limited comic book series by Watters, V, Roberts, and colourist Dave Stewart, for April 2024. It follows James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds' Dracula from last year, and more to come.

"In addition to the Creature himself, the series introduces new characters like journalist Kate Marsden and serial killer Darwin Collier, along with a returning character from the film – the mysterious Doctor Edwin Thompson.

""We're so thrilled to announce our second book in the Universal Monsters line." Said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. "Dan Watters and Ram V are two of the most exciting writers in comics, and to be able to turn them loose with longtime Skybound creators Matthew Roberts and Dave Stewart has been an absolute treat. And while James & Martin's DRACULA was an adaptation of the original film, CREATURE is a brand-new story featuring beloved Gill-Man. Each book in the Universal Monsters line will feel different from the last, with each creative team bringing their own unique flavor and passion to these iconic horror characters. I can't wait to share what else we have planned!"

"Years after the events of the original film, Journalist Kate Marsden hunts for a notorious serial killer in the heart of the Amazon. Hot on the trail of this madman, she soon encounters an unexpected new threat–but is he friend or foe? Or is he simply…THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON?

"Picking up where the original films left off, this new Universal Monsters tale will take readers back to the mysterious Amazonian lagoon where terror lurks beneath its murky waters. This series is perfect for new readers and longtime fans alike."

Universal Monsters: Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives! #1 will be published on the 24th of April, 2024.
