This black and white art with impressive shading is perfect.

I usually like these hypnotic regression stories, including the ones presented as true stories (I'm usually on the fence about whether they're true or not). As Brian Barnes mentions, that started some time before this story (I guess most people consider the "Bridey Murphy" story the big start of it).Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-70560490769873827852013-12-19T00:18:44.725-06:002013-12-19T00:18:44.725-06:00You know what I love about these stories so far?

They're working for some bargain basement publisher, crappy writing by somebody's nephew maybe, and they're really TRYING. Sort of like Bela Lugosi in his latter career.<br /><br />Yes, not the greatest of stories, but it is interesting in its somewhat unique spin. I haven't read a werewolf past life hypnosis regression story before. Sadly the concept itself in comic book short story form means that the ending is telegraphed and predictable beyond nearly anything else. This might have the makings of a longer format. What happens after the wolf is let out of the bag, so to speak. That might be interesting.<br /><br />Thanks for posting!

The last panel is a real treat, especially the light framing.<br /><br />BTW, as far as I remember, they didn't have high heels, split dresses and fishnets in 1880! They didn't have werewolves, either, though, so I guess it's a wash.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-70792965200289851112013-12-16T17:25:22.945-06:002013-12-16T17:25:22.945-06:00Nightmare #5 had a Story about a shape-shifting Sl...Nightmare #5 had a Story about a shape-shifting Slime...
