The tag's Russell with a Jack in front of it.... March 6, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
"The tag's Russell, with a Jack in front of it; the kind of name that fits a normal 19 year old dude living out in LA..."
I read (and re-read, and re-read) this series when I was a kid but when this was first recommended to me by Amazon my first reaction was that I was too old for this stuff: "I have grown children..." But another part of me, that part that never really grew up was excited to see one of my favorite 70's characters reintroduced to a new audience. "Werewolf by Night" is pure escapist fun. Jack Russell is a guy that's inhereted the werewolf curse from his father and on his eighteenth birthday Jack turns into the werewolf for the first time. In typical Marvel fashion Jack and his alter-ego face a vast array of the Marvel bigshots (both good guys and bad):Moon Knight, Morbius the living Vampire, Man-Thing, Iron Man as well as all sorts of supernatural creatures and spooks including and especially The big 'D' himself, Dracula. It's a blast.
As a child my local drug store (yep kids...that's where we used get comics) stopped carrying WW by Night just after leaving me at a cliffhanger. I never found out how the series ended or how Jack, Topaz and Buck escaped from their impending doom. Well, more than thirty years later I finally managed to find out how they escaped and how the series finally wrapped up. It was worth the wait.
Thanks Marvel for issuing these Essentials magazines, I've had a blast!
