It's Wednesday again already, and you know what that means-- werewolves! This is a totally bizarre, and somewhat unique spin on the 'ol hairy scaries, mixing in a ghosts 'n graveyard plot to create something unlike any other lycanthropy tale ever told here. Okay, our hero, Steve, seems to figure things out a little too smoothly at one point, but it's still a wild horror-mash romp through the haunted countryside as only ACG could unearth and unleash 'em. From the December 1951 issue of Adventures into the Unknown #26.

Like the story before this (Horror on Canvas) this is very much what I like to call a hat story -- you've got a hat full of horror ideas and you pull 3 or 4 of them and stich them together into a story.
Honestly, while it makes stories that are at best goofy and at worst hard to follow, it certainly makes them original!
I like the art in this one, the printing is pretty awful but we get a bunch of different werewolves and I like the weird alien like ones, that's not something I've seen before.
In the search for random rules to make the story work, the old "need a human to bury a werewolf in a cemetery to claim the souls of the dead" is a new one!
BTW I can't blame Steve as Lycana (get a clue, buddy!) is a looker, but man is he a jerk. I kind of hate to see him win in the end! Gilda needs to dump him, like right now!
