Buck is in the hospital, clinging to life, after a ski trip w/ The Werewolf. Before Jack can beat himself up about it, the fat cats of The Committee have hired a mercenary and equipped him with a silver suit and weapons to haul to the Furry One in by the scruff of his neck. Also: Dr. Jekyll y El Homre Lobo (Paul Naschy)

Jack & Topaz join Buck and his new lady friend Elaine and her daughter at a ski resort for a weekend of fun, frolicking, and deathly fright. The Beast comes dangerously close to taking an innocent life, with only Buck standing between the Werewolf and a murder...and someone's not walking away from this one. Plus: Paul Naschy's La Noche de Walpurgis ( The Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman )

Our final giant-size issue starts out with Buck and Jack seeking an interview with a satanic high priest, searching for a cure for lycanthropy, but ends up with The Werewolf in an entirely new world, one separated into two warring domains: the forever day of Searland and the two-mooned endless night of Shadow-Realm. What role will The Beast play in their surreal struggle? Plus: Bad Moon (1996)

GOOD NEWS: Jack's got his first gig as a b-movie stuntman for Mallet Studios (w/ a Buck Cowan script, starring Melody Tune!)

The Modern Prometheus hops a freight train to L.A. in the hopes that the satanic Brotherhood of Ba'al can give him a new body & another chance at life...Lissa hopes they can cure Jack's lycanthropy...while the cult needs new blood & a body to offer as a host for their Dark Lord. this isn't going to end well for anybody.

When Lt. Lou Hackett learns that there was another magic lycanthropy ring where his came from and that Jack Russell took it, he makes a beeline for Colden House and the TWO beasts that are all too happy to tango with him using the streets of L.A. as their dance floor. A wild yarn from Moench is paired w/ dynamite art from Perlin & Colletta for a pulpy explosion of monsters, magic, and melee.

We're halfway through our WbN journey! To celebrate, we've taken Gerry Conway 's two-part prose story ('Panic by Moonlight' & 'Madness Under a Mid-Summer Moon') from the Marvel-Curtis' mag Monsters Unleashed and produced an audio drama, a modern take on an old radio show. We hope you enjoy and don't forget to drink your Ovaltine. For continuity geeks, this takes place somewhere between issue 12 an...

We welcome writer Doug Moench to the WbN Wolfpack and, based on this ish, we're betting Friedrich left him a mug that says, "You DON'T have to be CRAZY to write this comic...BUT IT HELPS!" Jack and Coker are stalked by a new, intelligent lycanthrope. Jack finally meets the infamous Geraldo Kabal (formerly Kabel) and gets a strange new power AND the location of Baron Thunder's lair where sister Lis...

Jack takes some much-needed "me time" away from all the noise of rival werewolves and kidnapped sisters and wanders the surf of Mexico's beaches...where he encounters an all-new, all-fuzzy Greer Nelson...with a murder of Hydra agents in tow. Can't a wolf-guy get his head together without having a big plastic hassle from a worldwide terror organization?!?

Jack & Raymond Coker come clean to each other about their lycanthropic lives. While visiting Mallet Studios pursuing a possible cure, Jack (dogged by his new, less-than-thrilled pack-brother Raymond) encounter another threat...from The Lord of the Undead. Oh, yeah, and Lissa's still kidnapped!  We're joined by filmmaker & lifelong comics fan Brad Elmore ( The Wolfman's Hammer , Bit )

Lt. Hackett presses Jack with questions about werewolf activity when California's most powerful witch, Ma Mayhem, attacks on behalf of The Committee. The ensuing battle draws out a SECOND werewolf who also resides in Colden House, resulting in a no-holds-barred hack-n-slash territorial battle that cannot be contained in one swinging singles complex.

Back in L.A., Jack tries to find out more about lycanthropy. He's desperate to find a cure, not only for himself, but also for his soon-to-be-18 sister Lissa. Perhaps his strange neighbor Raymond Coker has the answer? And didn't Luther Kane claim to have a cure? The *true* head of The Committee, Baron Thunder, unleashes a modern day golem to stalk the werewolf...walls, windows, and doors be damned...

While waiting for a plane home to L.A., Jack & Topaz discover some months have FOUR full moons. The Beast is on the loose in Paris and a new, half-mad hunchback has snatched Topaz and is headed to the Notre-Dame Cathedral...with plans to make this cruel world sorry for treating him like a freak. We welcome new writer Mike Friedrich and bid a fond adieu to artist Mike Ploog.
