I’m not sure who all was clamoring for a Man-Wolf series, but given the explosion of horror books in 1974, I suppose it was inevitable.
In the first arc, we meet Simon Stroud, a cop who is chasing down Man-Wolf. He’ll also appear in future issues of Morbius, so I’ve tagged him. Stroud chases Man-Wolf to the Statue of Liberty, shoots at him, and watches Man-Wolf fall to his “death.”
But of course he doesn’t die.
I suppose there were some opportunities here to give J. Jonah some character growth–seeing as how his kid is now the kind of nemesis The Daily Bugle tends to rail about–but if that’s where they’re going, it doesn’t happen in these first two issues.
Note: The prior 30 issues of this series were reprints and creature features. Nothing canon.
