Night
of 1,000 Wolves

Artist:
David Wachter
The
gist: A village elder is prevented from making a sacrifice which
results in the return of the Nagbre, the wolf mother. You get all of
the werewolf-type action that you could possibly want in a Horror
comic. Fans of Dark Ages-flavored sword and sorcery stuff will also
be delighted by this story. I'm not sure if there are a thousand
wolves depicted here or not. Perhaps I should go back and count each
wolf and then demand my money back if there are not a thousand of
them.
David Wachter's artwork is superb, Bobby Curnow's writing is clear and this reads at a brisk clip. This is a tad more decompressed than I like but is undeniably good. Plus, it has werewolves! Kind of. I am a sucker for werewolves, wolfmen, or any other incarnation of lycanthropes or wolf spirits.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 5 out of 5.
The OCD zone- I Love the smell of toxic Korean printed books.
Paper
rating: 5 out of 5. This book has incredibly thick coated stock
with a slight sheen. I love it.
Binding
rating: 4 out of 5. Glue. Meh.
Cardstock
cover coating rating: 4 out of 5. This has a decent coating that
should hold up well with repeated handling.
