A Glimpse into the Past: Werewolf by Night's Golden Age Debut in Marvel Tales #116

Long before Marvel resurrected their iconic horror line in the 1970s, there was an unexpected appearance of Werewolf by Night—but not in the way you might expect. The legendary character first appeared in Marvel Tales #116, a Golden Age comic, way before he became a household name in the 1970s horror boom!

While most people are familiar with the 1970s version of Jack Russell, the character known as Werewolf by Night, his debut in the Golden Age has often been overlooked. This early appearance in Marvel Tales #116 presents a fascinating glimpse into the evolving landscape of horror comics during that era and the roots of what would later become a major player in Marvel's supernatural universe.
