Welcome to the next chapter in playing card design that you didn’t know you needed. The Frankenstein Series is a daring, four-part anthology that gives Mary Shelley's legendary tale a right royal makeover across four wildly different thematic realms.
But hang on — this isn’t just a deck of cards. It's a modular art piece that’ll have your mates scratching their heads. Each deck comes in a uniquely shaped, die-cut puzzle tuck box. When you line all four boxes up, they create one stunning display, echoing how the monster was stitched together from bits and bobs. (Frankenstein: the original DIY project.)
The Four Faces of the Monster
Each timeline is strictly limited to a rare run of only 500 decks, showcasing fully custom artwork, pips, and court cards that fit their respective worlds like a glove:
The Gothic Edition (The Past) - The Theme: A spine-tingling homage to classic 19th-century Gothic horror. Dark, moody, and oh-so-romantic, this deck captures the tragic vibes of Victor Frankenstein's original lab — think candles, thunder, and lots of brooding. - The Box: Made from premium Pearl Paper with custom die-cuts that add a cheeky touch of elegance to the macabre artwork.
The Comic Edition (The Present) - The Theme: A gritty, high-contrast nod to classic horror comics. Each card cleverly hides a full-on, beautifully illustrated comic narrative that'll make you giggle (or cringe). - The Box: Encased in an eco-textured, rugged I-Kraft Paper tuck box — it’s like holding a vintage graphic novel that’s a bit worse for wear.
The Future Edition (The Tomorrow) - The Theme: A bold, cyberpunk reimagining of the mythos. In this dystopian future, our monster is reborn with cold cybernetics and neon bio-tech — basically, a tech upgrade gone mad. - The Box: Dressed in a dazzling, electrifying Purple Foil tuck box that demands to be seen (and probably Instagrammed).
The Egypt Edition (The Mythos) - The Theme: This one’s a bold mythological mash-up. It explores Frankenstein's creation through the eyes of ancient Egyptian mysticism, drawing cheeky parallels to Anubis, Osiris, and all those mummy rituals. - The Box: Features a custom die-cut box opening to reveal rich, ancient iconography and a regal colour palette that says, "Yes, I am fancy."
