Just a quick note -- I had a typo in the first version of this -- mistakenly calling my Skybound/Brides editor Alex Antone by the name of a long ago Marvel guy I worked with. I updated it almost immediately -- and Alex has gotten my apologies -- but unfortunately -- updating it here on the site does not modify what you guys first received in your email in-boxes. So a lot of you will probably see the error. Apologies!
Wow! You made my day. Frankenstein is my favorite monster of all. The only other one I dare to put in the same rank is Monster of the Black Lagoon!
Then when I was growing up, I discovered Bride of Frankenstein.
Dear god, what you've done to me? That's it, I was sold.
Elsa Lanchester was my de facto icon. I loved the mithology and maybe that's why I liked Malificent more in the animated version of Sleeping Beauty when I saw it the first time.
Everyone was rooting for Prince Phillip and Aurora, but I was in awe with that huge, big dragon she became that spilled green fire.
I don't need to say that I loved what Angelina Jolie did it, right?
After that I always loved the heroines more than the heroes. Not that I'm dismissive about them. I love Conan the Barbarian as anyone else.
But Sarah Connor? Ripley? Judge Anderson? Marada and Sonja? Morgana LeFey?
That is so rad Kelly. Congrats on the new book. spooky season is so far away <sigh>. We try to watch a bunch of the universal monster movies in October. Although, i do have some trouble suspending my belief in wolfman with lon chaney playing a college kid. such an odd casting choice.
Excited about that announcement!!! A huge fan of this collab! Thank you so much for the update on the mysteriously Sold Out AWW #20s. I was watching the shop like a hawk for that issue and was surprised when it was listed as sold out. And thanks to everyone with the courage, time, and sense to ask the question!
I haven’t seen it mentioned in the newsletter, so, I not sure if you’re aware of it, but there’s a new Jeff The Land Shark collectible coming out. The model / figure kit company Blokees is releasing one of Jeff The Land Shark, as part of the Marvel Rivals Champion Class line of model kits. They’re real easy to assemble, no tools, snap together parts, and, in the end, you have a good size, action figure of Jeff The Land Shark.

I can watch, read or hear them anytime you want.
Will keep an eye out about this one, ms Thompson.
Wow. Amazing news!
The art for bride of Frankenstein looks so good! Can’t wait to get to read this. So great to catch up with your updates!
Has anyone made more with less than Elsa Lanchester?
The Bride was only on screen for, like, four minutes.
Those Bride pages are fantastic!
