San Diego Comic-Con News: IDW Publishing announced upcoming releases from Bernie Wrightson, David and Maria Lapham, and Kim Dwinell during San Diego Comic-Con.

Bernie Wrightson’s masterpiece Frankenstein is getting an Artist’s Edition. Originally released in 1983, Wrightson created 47 full-page illustrations to accompany the original text by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Each plate in the Artist Edition will be scanned from the original art and reproduced at the size they were drawn. Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein Artist’s Edition will be in stores in late 2019. In the meantime, Wrightson aficionados can pick up Frankenstein, Alive, Alive!, the third and final issue of which was released in January and which has a hardcover collection slated for October (see “Bernie Wrightson's 'Frankenstein' Comics Sequel Resurrected”).

The first issue will be in stores in October. The story follows a handsome drifter cum serial killer who is pursued by Ricky Toledo, a teenager who fell for the man when he rented a small room in her home, right before he killed her mother and framed his father.

Kim Dwinell’s celebrated graphic novel Surfside Girls (Book One): The Secret of Danger Point (see “‘Surfside Girls’ Debuts for Summer”) is getting a sequel in June 2019 from IDW imprint Top Shelf Productions. Surfside Girls (Book Two): The Mystery at the Old Rancho finds best friends Sam and Jade trying to solve a 200-wear-old supernatural mystery as the Surfside’s annual surf competition is underway.
