![]() ![]() ![]() (I recently reread this to prep a read of volume two, and I would have liked to add a few bits to the end of the review, but I seem to have maxed out - maybe I'll give the comments a whirl. 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. Marvel exploited the slackening of the Comics Code in the ‘70s by releasing a wave of horror titles. ![]()
