Dark Horse has announced plans to release Frankenstein Underground, a new miniseries by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, in 2015.
The five-issue miniseries will be scripted by Mignola, with interior art by Ben Stenbeck (Baltimore, Living with the Dead), and covers by Mignola. The story picks up the narrative of the character as he was first introduced into the "Mignolaverse" in Mignola and Richard Corben’s House of the Living Dead graphic novel. Here Frankenstein’s monster is alone, abandoned and wandering underground, where he encounters both other monsters and dark secrets to the universe.
"It’s intimidating as hell to take on an icon like the Frankenstein monster," said Mignola. "I’m trying to do something that’s true to the origin Mary Shelley created for the creature but also captures a bit of the feel that Boris Karloff brought to the role in the classic Universal films. At the same time I’m throwing the monster into an entirely new environment, so I think the result will be something new. It’s an odd one, but ultimately will add an important new wrinkle to the Hellboy/B.P.R.D. world."
