Even A Man Who Is Pure In Heart...

...and says his prayers by night.

May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms

and the autumn moon is bright.

 

When I was a kid in the 50's and Shock Theater showed, on televlsion, most of the Universal Horror films, the one that scared me to death but also proved irrestible was THE WOLF MAN. (an interesting side note - Lon CHaney Jr. was the only actor to play all of the Universal Monsters: Mummy, Wolf Man, Frankenstein Monster and Dracula (or maybe it was his Son - the debate on that rages on).

 

Anyway, let's see some werewolf covers! Here is one to start with:

Jeeze Adam - even though I really once had about 80% or more of all pre-code horror - that BEWARE 5 does not make an impression in my memory. Now it DOES make an impression on me as a 2-cool cover I have yet to see.

Thanks, Pov. I do think it's overlooked because it's not that impressive in Gerber. Seen actual size, in person it creates a wonderful mood. I thoroughly enjoyed pulling it out to scan it.

 

I'll be interested to see what folks post here. I've not found that many cool werewolf covers compared to say mummy or skeleton covers.

[adamstrange]

Can't have too many Everett covers!

I love the fact that it's a chick pointing that double barrel shotgun at Wolfie!

 

[precodekeith]

I'm gonna have to dig around for some werewolf covers that you guys didn't do yet..... tough search!

Sorry about the small image here, but I'm sure you guys have all seen this book. It's got to be the most common TFTC book in existance. Even dealers that don't have any EC's have this book:

Yeah! And that werewolf always looked to me like it has a pot belly. No?

[precodekeith]

Yes he does! That's my kind of werewolf!

Not my copy, but I love this cover. Definitely swiped from the Wolfman as he appeared in ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN.

Interesting observation, DD. Now I see it. Whenever I saw this book something niggled at me. It has that late wolf man makeup look!

[Norrin_Radd]

Great werewolf covers!

 

But no werewolf cover thread is complete without Marvel Spotlight #2. Yeah, I know it's from 1972, but so what.

 

 

 

 

Here's an unusual werewolf cover that I'd like to own one day.... House of Mystery #1.

 

[PovertyRow]

Well because 1972 is not GA - so THERE. Good thing you added that HOM #1 or man! I woulda had to bop you one!
