We did a livestream to wrap up the show we've loved to make for you for five-and-a-half years. We had folks pop on, send in messages, and chat at us. We tried to read chat messages for the audio listener, but it's tough to do, especially when you're having a conversation w/ folks. Watch the video to see a lot of the stuff we didn't read on air: https://youtube.com/live/Q3hzJvw8mVE?feature=share Thanks to all who listened and watched over the years. We can't thank you enough for the support.

For the last episode of the series, we're joined by the creative and talented duo of Michael Giacchino & Angus MacLane, whose credits are too numerous to list here, to talk about one of the last books to hit the stands before Atlas/Seaboard turned off the lights: DEMON HUNTER by Rich Buckler & David Anthony Kraft. Demon Hunter is Gideon Cross, a vet who returns from The Nam to nothing and begins working as muscle for the mob, which naturally leads to him being headhunted to be a "Harvester of Eyes" for a mysterious cult that might just be up to something dark and nefarious!

We go through the lone issue of THE HANDS OF THE DRAGON, written by Ed Fedory with art by Jim Craig. Atlas decided to disrupt Marvel's near monopoly on kung fu comics with this origin tale of two twin brothers (one's evil!) who were bathed in radiation in a bomb explosion in Japan as infants. Between their irradiated strength and their years of martial arts training, they were both living lethal weapons. Time to head to the good old US of A for some mid-'70s mayhem.

Martin Goodman wanted to offer a robust & varied line of comics to compete with Marvel, DC, et al, so he needed a teen-humor mag. He used the art from Tower's TIPPY TEEN (1965-69) and only changed the main character's name...et voila...something to compete with Archie and the gang!
We briefly talk about the history of Archie and its clones and then proudly present THREE Vicki stories Power Records-style with real teens as voice talent, sound effects, and original music.

Goodman also published a POLICE ACTION at the pre-Marvel Atlas. This one seems to appeal to fans of the swarms of detectives and cops that cluttered up American TV screens in the mid-'70s, like Banacek, Kojak, and Baretta. POLICE ACTION offered up TWO lead characters in their own stories: Sam Lomax, NYPD, and Luke Malone: Manhunter. Stories by Russ Jones and Mike Ploog with art by Mike Sekowsky, Al McWilliams, and Mike Ploog.

We put a pin in Daimon's bizarre saga with The Possessor for a Bill Mantlo-penned one-and-done with The Thing in the nearby Arizonan Old West ghost town of Lawless, where Ben Grimm has been sent by Reed Richards on New Year's Eve to investigate some needle-burying energy readings. It seems the ghost of outlaw Jedediah Ravenstorm is behind the hauntings, but there is more going on here than meets the eye.

Bill Mantlo borrows heavily from Jack Kirby's wild '70s work for this strange little tale.
The finale of the 4-part Marcosa Saga and the original ending of the series. Saved by a call from the governor of Marvel, WbN was spared the chair and switched to a bi-monthly publishing schedule for a year. If nothing else, this ending has a kind epilogue where Jack reflects on his relationships of those who are closest to him and The Beast.
It's part 3 of The Brawl in Hall! The Hassle in the Castle! The Thrilla in the Villa! Belaric Marcosa moves to his endgame and puts Jack & the gang in hair-raising check. And, editorial makes a surprise announcement about the future of our favorite werewolf's book.
Werewolf Multimedia: The Undying Monster (1942)
The malevolent force within Marcosa House turns the supernatural chaos up to 11, pushing the gang to their limits and beyond, leaving one of our beloved characters dead.

There may be a way to save Buck's life (and Jack's soul) in the nightmarish Marcosa House, a dark and evil manor that kills or maddens every paranormal researcher who's darkened its doorway. Can Jack, Topaz, Lissa, and Elaine survive the supernatural onslaught of long-dead Belaric Marcosa and his heinous house of horrors?

Buck is in the hospital, clinging to life, after a ski trip w/ The Werewolf. Before Jack can beat himself up about it, the fat cats of The Committee have hired a mercenary and equipped him with a silver suit and weapons to haul to the Furry One in by the scruff of his neck.

Jack & Topaz join Buck and his new lady friend Elaine and her daughter at a ski resort for a weekend of fun, frolicking, and deathly fright.

What role will The Beast play in their surreal struggle?

That's Cool, That's Trash! riffed the Italian movie Bloody Pit of Horror. There's a link to download the whole riff in the description.
The Modern Prometheus hops a freight train to L.A. in the hopes that the satanic Brotherhood of Ba'al can give him a new body & another chance at life...Lissa hopes they can cure Jack's lycanthropy...while the cult needs new blood & a body to offer as a host for their Dark Lord. this isn't going to end well for anybody.
When Lt. Lou Hackett learns that there was another magic lycanthropy ring where his came from and that Jack Russell took it, he makes a beeline for Colden House and the TWO beasts that are all too happy to tango with him using the streets of L.A. as their dance floor. A wild yarn from Moench is paired w/ dynamite art from Perlin & Colletta for a pulpy explosion of monsters, magic, and melee.
We're halfway through our WbN journey! To celebrate, we've taken Gerry Conway's two-part prose story ('Panic by Moonlight' & 'Madness Under a Mid-Summer Moon') from the Marvel-Curtis' mag Monsters Unleashed and produced an audio drama, a modern take on an old radio show. We hope you enjoy and don't forget to drink your Ovaltine. For continuity geeks, this takes place somewhere between issue 12 and 17.
We welcome writer Doug Moench to the WbN Wolfpack and, based on this ish, we're betting Friedrich left him a mug that says, "You DON'T have to be CRAZY to write this comic...BUT IT HELPS!" Jack and Coker are stalked by a new, intelligent lycanthrope. Jack finally meets the infamous Geraldo Kabal (formerly Kabel) and gets a strange new power AND the location of Baron Thunder's lair where sister Lissa is being held. Buckle up for a wild rescue mission!
Jack takes some much-needed "me time" away from all the noise of rival werewolves and kidnapped sisters and wanders the surf of Mexico's beaches...where he encounters an all-new, all-fuzzy Greer Nelson...with a murder of Hydra agents in tow.
Can't a wolf-guy get his head together without having a big plastic hassle from a worldwide terror organization?!?
Jack & Raymond Coker come clean to each other about their lycanthropic lives. While visiting Mallet Studios pursuing a possible cure, Jack (dogged by his new, less-than-thrilled pack-brother Raymond) encounter another threat...from The Lord of the Undead. Oh, yeah, and Lissa's still kidnapped!
We're joined by filmmaker & lifelong comics fan Brad Elmore (The Wolfman's Hammer, Bit)
Lt. Hackett presses Jack with questions about werewolf activity when California's most powerful witch, Ma Mayhem, attacks on behalf of The Committee. The ensuing battle draws out a SECOND werewolf who also resides in Colden House, resulting in a no-holds-barred hack-n-slash territorial battle that cannot be contained in one swinging singles complex.
Back in L.A., Jack tries to find out more about lycanthropy. He's desperate to find a cure, not only for himself, but also for his soon-to-be-18 sister Lissa. Perhaps his strange neighbor Raymond Coker has the answer? And didn't Luther Kane claim to have a cure? The true head of The Committee, Baron Thunder, unleashes a modern day golem to stalk the werewolf...walls, windows, and doors be damned!
While waiting for a plane home to L.A., Jack & Topaz discover some months have FOUR full moons. The Beast is on the loose in Paris and a new, half-mad hunchback has snatched Topaz and is headed to the Notre-Dame Cathedral...with plans to make this cruel world sorry for treating him like a freak.
We welcome new writer Mike Friedrich and bid a fond adieu to artist Mike Ploog.
The conclusion of the monstrous battle between werewolf and vampire! We learn more about the Russoff family curse (and you thought your family was messed up) from Jack's ancestor's diary which is...a second Darkhold! The 'second book of sins' has deadly implications for the Count and he intends to keep it for himself, at all costs. Topaz helps Jack use the Beast in a new and extraordinary way. We bid farewell to scribe Marv Wolfman.

Our Freaky Friday body-swap tale continues, as The Werewolf fights step-dad Phillip, who's trapped in the monstrous body of the son of Taboo. Phew!

Buck finds out The Beast is his very own buddy Jack. The Committee takes a shot at nabbing our favorite werewolf. The Hangman yells a lot about innocence and justice with wolf at the door.

Jack quits couch surfing at Buck's & moves into a swinging singles apartment building where he promptly turns into a monster. Meanwhile, the Hangman protects women from criminal scum permanent-like. He, Jack, and Lissa are on a collision course with chauvinist, violent wackiness.

Jacob talks with T.M. Tucker about his new werewolf book Above the Circle of the Moon: An 18th-Century Werewolf Novel and Matt & Jacob review Werewolf by Night #8.
Our (anti)hero The Beast becomes the 1st of the Marvel Horror characters to interact with superheroes of the 616 when Jack visits San Francisco and becomes unwitting muscle for Moondark, a powerful magician who has turned all of the Bay Area's denizens into mindless automatons!
The Swami Rihva's plans for Jack are revealed and they require Jack's supernatural blood (hey, he's using that!)...but, fear not, Lissa and Buck are on the case!
The Werewolf falls under the cross-hairs of Swami Rihva, the proprietor of the sinister Calliope Circus & Carnival, who has some sinister designs on our beloved Beast. Also, Jack's nocturnal activities are now on the radar of LAPD detective Lou Hackett.
The two writers of the re-imagined Werewolf by Night series joined us to talk about the new book, Red Wolf, slam-bam monster brawls, and how to walk with respect when reinventing a classic property for a new generation of readers. Check out their 4-issue limited series starting October 21st.
Len Wein picks up the story where we left off: a wounded Jack aims to free sister Lissa from Joshua Kane's trap, but his brother Luther has even more sinister, noir-ish plans for The Beast: take a life or lose your sister! What's a werewolf to do?
Comics fan & filmmaker Brad Michael Elmore (Bit, The Wolfman's Hammer) jumped at the chance to be on the show to talk about Marvel's Bronze Age occultism (or 'Saturday morning Satanism,' as he called it), in particular, Issue #4 of Werewolf by Night:
The Beast saved Lissa from the Mad Monk, but it's out of the frying pan & into the fire as a crazed & bored big game hunter sets his sights on a new thrill...werewolf hunting!...and he's kidnapped Jack's sister to motivate our hero to play along.
Father Joquez translates The Darkhold and, to quote every YouTuber ever, it...didn't go well. A medieval Satan-worshiping monk reveals the origins of the Darkhold, the Book of Sins, and his strange connection to Jack's family that could doom the entire world!
Jack Russell (and The Beast) becomes the prey of a mysterious figure who wants to capitalize on his lycanthropy for his own personal gains.
When last we saw the Werewolf, he had been turned to stone by a mutant gorgon on Blackgar's island of horrors. The story continues here in the debut of his own title. W: Gerry Conway A: Mike Ploog

Jack meets a curious new ally who also seeks the Darkhold and informs him it might be in his birth-father's Transylvanian castle...which was purchased by one Dr. Miles Blackgar and transported, brick by brick, to an island off the Cali coast. What luck! But, Jack (and his furry other half) couldn't have prepared themselves for the horror they encounter on THE ISLAND OF THE DAMNED!
Jack Russell's new and complicated life of lycanthropy & magic curses gets even more heavy when a gang of bikers target his sister Lissa and an even more nefarious couple plot to nab Jack and force him to reveal the location of a forbidden tome from his father's collection: the legendary grimoire...THE DARKHOLD!
