Comic Book Artist Alex Ross Turns His Attention to the Universal Monsters
The original horror icons return to life with this incredible art.
If you’re a fan of comics you’re no doubt familiar with Alex Ross, who has lent his talents to countless properties under both the Marvel and DC umbrellas. Ross has drawn characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and outside the superhero world, he’s worked on comics such as Clive Barker’s Hellraiser and Terminator: The Burning Earth.
Now, Ross has turned his attention to the Universal Monsters.
Just in time for Halloween, Ross has released a sneak preview of his Classic Universal Monsters Set, which will be officially unveiled, in full, at next year’s San Diego Comic-Con. In addition to a monster mash collecting them all together, Ross has painted individual pieces of each of the iconic monsters in Universal’s oeuvre, both in black & white and color tinted editions.
The set will include:
- (Boris Karloff) Frankenstein – 1931
- (Bela Lugosi) Dracula – 1931
- (Elsa Lanchester) Bride of Frankenstein – 1935
- Creature from the Black Lagoon – 1954
- (Boris Karloff) The Mummy – 1932
- (Lon Chaney Jr) The Wolf Man – 1941
- (Claude Rains) The Invisible Man – 1933
- “Monster Mash”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
