Mummy black-and-white edition — The Universal Monsters: The Mummy comic is getting a remastered black-and-white edition, giving readers a new way to revisit Helen Grosvenor’s story before The Mummy 4 arrives.

What changed

Skybound is bringing its Universal Monsters: The Mummy comic back in a remastered black-and-white format. The original story, written and illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks, debuted in 2025 as a four-issue limited series; the new edition reorganizes it as a two-issue double feature.

According to the announcement described by SuperHeroHype, the first issue is scheduled for February 24, 2027. It will have a Cover A by Hicks and Lee Loughridge and a Cover B by Mark Chiarello. The second issue follows on March 24, with covers by Hicks, Loughridge, and Annie Wu.

Both editions are priced at $6.99 and are expected at comic book shops and through digital outlets, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play. The source identifies no changes to the story itself; the stated update is its remastered monochrome presentation and two-issue release structure.

The comic centers on Helen Grosvenor, a woman caught between two worlds and haunted by a cursed encounter in her childhood. Its return offers a distinct comics release tied to the Mummy character, rather than a new film announcement.

Why it matters

For readers deciding how to revisit the story, the format is the practical change: a four-part limited series becomes two larger issues in black and white. That may appeal to existing readers interested in seeing Hicks’ work presented in a different visual treatment, as well as newcomers who want to explore the comic ahead of the next film.

The timing connects the release to Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy 4, which the source says is set to arrive October 15, 2027. The comic is not presented as a direct adaptation or a required lead-in to that movie. Instead, it gives fans another Mummy story to read before the film’s planned release.

Skybound’s wider Universal Monsters line also matters to readers who follow creator-led horror comics. The publisher has built the collection around standalone stories, so this edition sits within an ongoing series of separate takes on familiar monsters rather than a single continuous narrative.

Who is affected

Readers who collected the 2025 limited run are the clearest audience for the reissue. They can decide whether the remastered black-and-white version and revised issue format offer enough of a difference to revisit the story; the source does not say whether the new edition includes additional material.

Comic shoppers and digital readers can choose between the listed comic-store and online options. The source names Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play, but does not provide preorder details or confirm whether availability will vary by region.

Fans tracking the Universal Monsters comics have another installment to place alongside earlier books. The reported line includes Dracula, Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives!, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera, Blood of the Wolf Man, and The Bride of Frankenstein Lives! The Mummy is described as the fourth installment in the overall lineup, while the article also lists later additions to the broader collection.

TechnoRapper’s Comics desk used SuperHeroHype’s report as the source for the release format, dates, price, distribution channels, and franchise background. Those details describe the announced plan; readers should treat the stated schedule as subject to any later publisher updates.

What to watch next

The first date to watch is February 24, 2027, when the first remastered issue is scheduled to arrive. The second is March 24, when the follow-up is planned. Readers interested in the release should look for availability information from their comic shop or preferred digital storefront as those dates approach.

It is also worth watching for confirmation of the covers and any additional edition details. The announcement summarized in the source names the artists for each issue’s covers but does not mention bonus pages, collected-edition plans, or preorder timing.

Finally, the comic’s schedule sits ahead of The Mummy 4’s stated October 15, 2027 release. The source does not describe a story connection between the comic and the movie, so any direct relationship remains unconfirmed. For now, the clear link is their shared Mummy subject and release window.
