"House of Mystery," "Creepy," "Menace," "Horror From the Tomb," and "Secrets of Sinister House" (Werewolf Transformations)

This post is our second devoted to werewolf transformations from old horror comics. (The first, dating from 2011, can be read here.) This time around we have art from some of the best illustrators in the field. 

First comes "The Way of the Werewolf," from House of Mystery #231, which features some fine facial transformations by Gerry Talaoc. It can be read here, at Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine.

Next is "Werewolf!," drawn by the great Frank Frazetta. Taken from Creepy #1, read it here at the blog Black 'N' White and Red All Over. The TF is on the last page.

Also hosted by the same blog, and from the same comic (issue 12), is a real gem--"Blood of the Werewolf!" -- with gorgeous art by none other than Steve Ditko. Go here to feast your eyes on Ditko's fine, strapping wolfman.

From Menace #3 comes "Werewolf!", drawn by Bill Everett. It can be seen here, at the blog The Horrors of it All. The TF is on the last page.

Horror From the Tomb #1  features "Werewolf of the Alps," with art by Jon D'Agostino. You can find it here, at the blog Four Color Shadows.

Our last item is "Castle Curse," from Secrets of Sinister House #10, beautifully rendered by the great  Alfred P. Acala, though the only TF action is a face revert on the second-to-last page. See it here, at the blog Lounge of the Severed Head.
