So Dell acquires the rights to the classic Universal monsters. They start the story with a movie adaptation and then... SUPERHEROES!!! Yay! Dell goes Marvel! NOT! You've seen their Dracula, you've seen their Frankenstein, what you haven't seen in their Wolf Man:
After that #1 though, they change the lead character's name to Werewolf, which seems fine, which sounds less superheroey, but that's not all they change...
A guy in a black unitard fighting communists with his pet arctic wolf Thor? See, he's a "werewolf" because while he had amnesia, he fell in with a pack of these sabertoothed, definitely brown arctic creatures and lived among them. Uh-huh. Ok.
If his gimmick had at least been to make enemies believe he turned into the wolf, that might've been something. Actual gimmicks: He was hypnotized to be able to change his facial features (!!) and his body stocking is only a molecule thick but protects him from all harm.
Dell thankfully stuck to a trilogy. I can't imagine what they would have done with the Creature from the Black Lagoon...

Nearly?!
Way to use your cover to annihilate any suspense your crappy story might have had, Dell. Jeebus.
Still, the text is more of a grabber than the cover image. (Dell kind of sucked, didn't they? I'm just now starting to figure that out.)
Y'know what would make it even better?
Disco.
