Marvel Spotlight on... Werewolf by Night

Marvel’s comic Werewolf by Night turns 42 today as we reach the anniversary of its first publication in Marvel Spotlight #2. The Werewolf (or rather, Jack Russell) was actively featured in publications from 1972-1977, but went dormant for many years before being revived in the early 90s. He has most recently appeared in Marvel Zombies 4, which ran for four issues from June to September 2009.

Swing by your local comics store to see if you can find The Werewolf hidden away in the archives!
