Wolfman (1963 Dell) Movie Classics 410 VG+ 4.5

Second printing. Story by Robert Bernstein. Art by Bob Jenney. A tale of horror from Dell, inspired by the classic Universal Monster movie The Wolf Man. Med students Albert and Milo meet in Paris in the 1800s, after which Milo returns to his remote Transylvanian village, which lives in fear of the strange Vorcia and his pack of wolves. When Milo falls under Vorcia's spell, Albert comes to help and learns the deadly secret of the Wolf Man. An interesting side-note: The Comics Code forbade werewolf stories at this time. So Dell, which primarily did children's comics, published the only werewolf comics from an American publisher until the 1970s. Considered part of Dell's Movie Classics line, although not listed as such on the cover. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.
