Welcome to the wild world of playing card design, where we’ve taken a classic and given it a proper shake! The Frankenstein Series is a four-part anthology that takes Mary Shelley’s legendary tale and spins it through four utterly bonkers thematic universes.
More than just a collection, this is a modular work of art. Each deck comes in a specially shaped, die-cut puzzle tuck box. When you line them all up, these four boxes fit together to create a stunning display—just like how the monster was cobbled together from bits and bobs (but hopefully with fewer mad scientists involved).
The Four Faces of the Monster
Each timeline is strictly limited to a mere 500 decks, boasting fully custom artwork, pips, and court cards that fit their respective worlds like a glove:
The Gothic Edition (The Past) - The Theme: A pure, atmospheric nod to the 19th-century Gothic horror scene. It’s dark, moody, and dripping with the tragic vibes of Victor Frankenstein's original lab. - The Box: Made with premium Pearl Paper and custom die-cuts, adding an ethereal elegance to the gloomy artwork—perfect for those candlelit evenings.
The Comic Edition (The Present) - The Theme: A gritty, high-contrast salute to classic horror comics. These cards have a secret life, hiding a fully illustrated comic narrative within the deck—surprise! - The Box: Stashed away in an eco-textured, rugged I-Kraft Paper tuck box that feels like you’ve got a vintage graphic novel in your hands. (Nostalgia alert!)
The Future Edition (The Tomorrow) - The Theme: A striking, cyberpunk twist on the mythos. In this dystopian future, the monster is reimagined with cold cybernetics, neon bio-tech, and all the body mods you could wish for. - The Box: Wrapped in a dazzling, electrifying Purple Foil tuck box that’s sure to turn heads on any shelf.
The Egypt Edition (The Mythos) - The Theme: A bold mythological mashup. This deck reinterprets Frankenstein’s creation through the lens of ancient Egyptian mysticism, drawing cheeky parallels to Anubis, Osiris, and the whole mummification shebang. - The Box: Boasts a custom die-cut opening that reveals rich, ancient iconography and a colour palette fit for the pharaohs.
