Werewolf (superhero)

Encyclopedia : W : WE : WER : Werewolf (superhero)

Werewolf was a short-lived attempt by Dell Comics to publish super-hero titles based on the Universal Pictures monsters. The other two were Dracula and Frankenstein.

Werewolf lasted 3 issues from 1966 through 1967, numbering #1-3. Because "Wolfman" was a copyrighted name, Dell went with the more generic "Werewolf". Art was by Tony Tallarico.

Werewolf is really Airforce Major Wiley Wolf. After crashing in the Arctic Circle, he lived with a group of wolves, saving one he named Thor. After being rescued he became a CIA operative, with Thor. He gets a high-tech suit, which makes him bulletproof and protects him from chemicals and gases. He then goes into action against the enemies of freedom and democracy.
