I think I’m right in saying that Roy Thomas (and his wife), supplied the initial concept and Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog took it from there. The initial creative team were Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog. With so much material collected, it’s no surprise that a lot of creative talent from 1970s Marvel make an appearance in the credits. If there was any doubt, this latter one firmly plants the Werewolf in the Marvel Universe. Other highlights include a Tomb of Dracula cross over and a Spider-Man cross over in Marvel Team-Up. Sometimes they really didn’t – let’s not go into Giant-Size Man-Thing! The Werewolf stars with Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up #12Īs a comics title, “Giant-Size …” is really clunky, but sometimes they actually work, as with Giant-Size Creatures (shame they didn’t stick with that). MoonlightsĪs you can see from the list above, this Omnibus collects not only the Werewolf’s own comics, Werewolf by Night and Giant-Size Creatures (which became Giant-Size Werewolf with #2) but also the Werewolf’s first appearances in Marvel Spotlight and guest appearances in Marvel Team-Up and Tomb of Dracula. On the other hand, if you’re a completist like me and like the idea of getting everything within the covers of one book then this is for you. No doubt about it, this is a big book and it’s sheer size might be off putting.
Back cover to Werewolf by Night Omnibus.Front cover to Werewolf by Night Omnibus.Before reading this book, I wasn’t particularly familiar with the title character but had read enough of Marvel’s other 1970s horror characters and titles to have my curiosity piqued. This mighty tome was published back in 2015 but I managed to pick up a nice copy from ebay earlier this year.
With Halloween just gone, it was impossible not to kick things off with a review of this monster of a book.
