*Marvel: Following the liberalisation of the Comics Code’s censorship in 1971, ‘classic’ horror creatures such as vampires and werewolves were allowed to be presented for the first time since the 1950s, and Marvel lost no time, with a one-two punch of Tomb of Dracula and Werewolf By Night, the latter being ‘piloted’ in Marvel Spotlight #2, #3 & #4. Created by Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog, the story of a young man named Jack Russell (no, really; stop laughing at the back there) who contracted a lycanthropic curse hit a high note with the readership and spun off into his own series after these three issues. As a bonus, the extra-thick #2, issued during Marvel’s fleeting flirtation with a 25c standard price, has a gorgeous Venus back-up reprint strip drawn by the incomparable Bill Everett. Issue #2, the premier WBN, is VG, light wear at top and bottom of spine but otherwise clean and tight copy, on sale at £90, with #3 VF+ £50, and #4 VF £30. None of these were distributed in the UK, so here’s an uncommon chance to grab the ‘pilots’ for the popular and long-running series! SORRY, #2 & #3 NOW SOLD
