Noteworthy for Marvel historians and trivia collectors: this volume includes Greer Nelson’s transformation from her original heroic identity the Cat to her now more familiar form of Tigra.
A real shame as, when it’s good, it’s really good. The book is blighted by constantly changing writers and artists, which leads to plot threads being forgotten about, characters just vanishing without explanation and generally jarring stories. It’s not as great as it could have been thanks to the curse that plagued Marvel throughout the ‘70s: inconsistency. On his eighteenth birthday, Jack Russell (I know, I know.) finds himself cursed to turn into a werewolf every full moon and from there the howl-worthy misadventures begin. This is a really fun book, particularly if you’re a fan of the cheesy horror b-movies of yesteryear (I know I am). These horror books have been one of the few gaps in my Marvel collection addiction for decades so I’ve decided to do something about this, starting with Werewolf By Night.
Jack Russell stars in tales to make you howl, as Marvel's very own Werewolf! Learn how Jack became one of the grooviest ghoulies of the seventies in this classic collection of his earliest adventures! Afflicted with his family's curse, Jack's on a search for answers - could they lie in the terrible tome known as the Darkhold? But Jack's quest is fraught with danger -from mad monks to big game hunters to a traveling freak show! Then there's the terror of Tatterdemalion, the horror of Hangman and the torment of Taboo! But few encounters can compare with Krogg, the lurker from beyond - except, maybe, a Marvel Team-Up with Spider-Man.Marvel exploited the slackening of the Comics Code in the ‘70s by releasing a wave of horror titles.
