They don't fight a giant werewolf this month, sadly.

I was going to blog this issue the other day, when I was watching The Beast Must Die...y'know, I think I've seen it more than once, and still haven't guessed right at the "Werewolf Break"! Anyway, from 1973, Doc Savage #7, "Brand of the Werewolf!" Based on the story by Kenneth Robeson, adapted by Gardner Fox and Tony Isabella, pencils by Ross Andru, inks by Frank Springer.

I am not especially familiar with the Man of Bronze; partially since I don't think he's ever had the comics presence his contemporary the Shadow did. In fact, I know I've read more pastiches and knock-offs of him than the genuine article! This issue, Doc's uncle in Canada is killed by a werewolf; and he and his crew take the train out to help his cousin, Pat. I believe she would be a recurring character in his stories, and she is established as "a capable young woman in a time before capable young women became fashionable." Unfortunately, this is a two-parter, and the next issue would be the last at Marvel!

Eight issues doesn't seem like much of a run; which makes me wonder how much the Doc Savage license was. I feel like, cheaper than Tarzan, more expensive than the stuff that ended up at Gold Key? Best guess.
