Where it came from
Werewolf by Night number 2 was published in 1972 during a significant period for Marvel Comics, as the company moved to capitalize on the easing of the Comics Code Authority's restrictions on supernatural characters. This issue continued the adventures of Jack Russell, a man cursed with lycanthropy, who had debuted in Marvel Spotlight the previous year. The series served as a cornerstone of Marvel's horror line, reflecting the growing cultural appetite for gothic themes in 1970s popular media.
The creative team behind this early installment featured writer Gerry Conway and artist Mike Ploog, whose distinctive, atmospheric style became synonymous with the title's dark, gritty tone. Ploog’s work on the series is often cited by collectors for its expressive line work and cinematic framing, which helped differentiate the title from Marvel's traditional superhero fare. Upon its release, the series was well-received by readers for its moody departure from standard comic book narratives, effectively establishing a lasting niche for supernatural horror within the broader Marvel Universe.
