Welcome to a rather splendid twist in the world of playing cards. The Frankenstein Series is a bold, four-part anthology that gives Mary Shelley's classic tale a right good shake across four wildly different thematic realms.
But hang on, folks—this isn’t just a run-of-the-mill collection. It’s a modular art piece! Each deck comes in a uniquely shaped, die-cut puzzle tuck box. Stack them up, and you’ve got a stunning display that mirrors the way the monster was cobbled together from bits and bobs (talk about DIY!).
The Four Faces of the Monster
Each timeline is strictly limited to a rare run of only 500 decks, sporting fully custom artwork, pips, and court cards that vibe perfectly with their respective worlds:
The Gothic Edition (The Past) - The Theme: A pure, atmospheric nod to classic 19th-century Gothic horror. Dark, moody, and steeped in romantic tragedy, this deck captures the despair of Victor Frankenstein's original lab—perfect for fans of the gloomy. - The Box: Crafted from premium Pearl Paper with custom die-cuts, giving a touch of luxury to the macabre artwork. Not too shabby, eh?
The Comic Edition (The Present) - The Theme: A gritty, high-contrast salute to classic horror comic books. Each card doesn't just look good; it hides a fully illustrated comic narrative within. (Double the fun, folks!) - The Box: Wrapped in eco-textured, rugged I-Kraft Paper, it feels just like that vintage graphic novel you’ve been eyeing.
The Future Edition (The Tomorrow) - The Theme: A striking, cyberpunk spin on the mythos. In this dystopian future, the monster is reborn through cold cybernetics, neon bio-tech, and all that futuristic jazz. - The Box: Dressed in a dazzling, electrifying Purple Foil tuck box that demands a place on your shelf (seriously, it’s a showstopper).
The Egypt Edition (The Mythos) - The Theme: A bold mythological mashup. This deck explores the creation and rebirth of Frankenstein through ancient Egyptian mysticism, drawing cheeky parallels with Anubis, Osiris, and good old mummification rituals. - The Box: Features a custom die-cut opening up to rich, ancient iconography and a regal colour palette. Quite the statement piece!
