Setting the Pace: "Moonbound!" by Kraft, Perez, and Kida

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Are we already preparing to rap about Dave Kraft and George (Pace-Setter) Perez' final Man-Wolf installment for Creatures On the Loose? My, how the time do fly! But sure 'nuff, here 'tis! "Moonbound" from CotL #37 (June 1975)! Notice the inks by Golden Age artist Fred Kida. You can still see Perez' style shining through, but it's a lot different than when he was inked by Klaus Janson or Frank McLaughlin...

















And that's all, folks! But never fear, Groove-ophile! DAK was kind enough to fill us in on what he and the Pace-Setter had in mind for the wrap-up of their cosmic werewolf tale, right there in the back pages of that self-same issue of CotL (just like the box on the last page says!)! Dig it!

But wait, there's more! Marvel never left us hangin' for too long back in the Groovy Age! Kraft and Perez were finally able to complete their Man-Wolf saga a mere thirty-nine months later in the pages of Marvel Premiere! Ya wanna see? Hang in there, heroes!

Setting the Pace: "Wolfquest" by Kraft, Perez, and McLaughlin

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Time to plant our peepers on another early George Perez Man-Wolf masterpiece! "Wolfquest" written by David Anthony Kraft and inked by Frank McLaughlin appeared in Creatures On the Loose #35 (February 1975). You can already see The Pace-Setter's ornate, detailed style getting stronger and stronger, his storytelling chops gaining the sure-handedness we'd all know and love, and some early robotic styles that could have helped inspire a certain teen with titanium parts. Check it out!!
