Speaking of werewolves, the only Marvel/DC comic I read regularly in the 1970s was Werewolf by Night, which appeared from 1972 to 1977.
I bought the first issue because I figured it would the first time the character appeared in print, as opposed to other Marvel characters who moved in and out of each other's books at random. Wrong -- Jack Russell had been around for a couple of years.
Why name a werewolf after a breed of dog?
At least the first issue had an origin story.
Jack Russell turns 18 and inherits the family curse; during the three nights of the full moon, he turns into a ravaging werewolf. Afterwards, of course, his clothes are gone, revealing an amazing physique. In the second issue, he tries to explain his dilemma to the man he lives with -- "more than a friend" -- a middle-aged writer named Buck Cowan.
Buck also has an amazing physique and is allergic to shirts.
There is a "damsel in distress" being threatened on most covers, but surprise! It's not some girl, it's his sister. Jack doesn't have a girlfriend, girl admirer, or female crush, at least not in the issues I read.
In 2013, he appeared in a guest spot on The Ultimate Spider-Man, voiced by Disney hunk Ross Lynch.
