Welcome to a rather bonkers leap in playing card design. The Frankenstein Series is an ambitious, four-part anthology that gives Mary Shelley’s legendary tale a good shake-up across four wildly different thematic realms.
More than just a collection, this is a modular art piece (yes, you heard right). Each deck comes in a specially shaped, die-cut puzzle tuck box. When all four are lined up together, they create a jaw-dropping display—just like the monster itself, stitched together from bits and bobs.
The Four Faces of the Monster
Each timeline is strictly limited to a rare run of only 500 decks, featuring fully custom artwork, pips, and court cards that are utterly tailored to each world:
The Gothic Edition (The Past) - The Theme: A proper atmospheric nod to classic 19th-century Gothic horror. Dark, moody, and a bit romantic, this deck captures the tragic vibe of Victor Frankenstein’s original lab (no spoilers, but it’s a bit grim). - The Box: Made from premium Pearl Paper with custom die-cuts, adding a posh, ethereal touch to the spooky artwork.
The Comic Edition (The Present) - The Theme: A gritty, high-contrast love letter to classic horror comics. The cards themselves pull double duty, hiding a fully custom, beautifully illustrated comic narrative within the deck (you’ll want to read it!). - The Box: Tucked away in an eco-textured, rugged I-Kraft Paper box that feels just like a vintage graphic novel (without the musty smell).
The Future Edition (The Tomorrow) - The Theme: A striking cyberpunk twist on the mythos. In this dystopian future, the monster’s been reborn with a bit of cold cybernetics, neon bio-tech, and some rather impressive body mods. - The Box: Wrapped in a dazzling, electrifying Purple Foil tuck box that’ll make your mates jealous when they see it on your shelf.
The Egypt Edition (The Mythos) - The Theme: A bold mythological mash-up. This deck reinterprets Frankenstein through the lens of ancient Egyptian mysticism, drawing cheeky parallels to Anubis, Osiris, and the ancient rituals of mummification (because why not?). - The Box: Features a custom die-cut opening up to rich, ancient iconography and a regal colour palette that screams “I’m classy!”
