Well-remembered for his Tomb of Dracula scripts, he also enjoyed runs on Dr.   Strange, Fantastic Four and Nova,   among other titles. New Teen Titans, his 1980s collaboration with George Perez, became DC Comics'   biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Perez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths. He   subsequently penned episodes for such animated TV series as G.I. Joe, Transformers and others.After   a Justice League of America stint at DC, Mike Friedrich moved to Marvel and to Iron Man, where, with Jim Starlin, he   brought Thanos and Drax the Destroyer into the Marvel Universe. He and   Starlin continued Thanos' cosmic saga in Captain Marvel. Friedrich also wrote   Captain America and various features for Marvel's anthology titles. Back at   DC, he wrote regularly for Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, and others. In   addition to runs on Fantastic Four and Thor,   original Moon Knight scribe Doug Moench specialized in writing features outside the Marvel mainstream   - including Adventure into Fear's Morbius, Frankenstein, Inhumans,   Ka-Zar- Lord of the Hidden Jungle, Master of Kung Fu, Werewolf by Night and Astonishing Tales' Deathlok. Proving his eclectic abilities, he also wrote the   full run of Godzilla,   most of Shogun Warriors   and stories for virtually every Marvel black-and-white magazine of the 1970s.   He expanded on his Star-Lord and Weirdworld sagas in multiple anthology   titles. At DC, he wrote memorable runs on Batman, Detective Comics and Legends of the Dark Knight - along with numerous Batman one-shots, cross-company   crossovers and Elseworlds sagas. He further contributed such short-lived but   unique series as Electric Warrior, Lords of the Ultra-Realm, Slash Maraud, Wanderers   and Xenobrood.His   drawing style sometimes characterized as \"cute-but-creepy,\" Mike Ploog - former apprentice of   industry legend Will Eisner - was a prominent force in Marvel's 1970s horror   titles, penciling Monster of Frankenstein, Ghost Rider, Man-Thing   and Werewolf by Night.   His art also appeared in licensed properties Kull   the Destroyer and Planet   of the Apes. He worked as layout artist on the   1978 version of Lord of the Rings and later became production illustrator and\/or storyboard   artist on Superman III,   The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Titan A.E. and X-Men,   among other films. Ploog collaborated with J.M. DeMatteis on the children's   book series Abadazad.A   creative stalwart that put his all into his work on long-running series like Ghost Rider and Defenders, Don   Perlin plied his talents in virtually every   discipline in the comic-book field - penciling, inking, creating new   characters and sometimes editing and writing. A student of Burne Hogarth's,   Perlin launched his career in 1951, drawing horror comics for various publishers   and also penciling Will Eisner's The Spirit. After serving in the Army, Perlin returned to comics with   Harvey in the late '50s as well as Charlton in the '60s. In 1973, he began   his long association with Marvel, finishing John Buscema's art on Thor and inking several titles. He   took over Werewolf by Night from Mike Ploog, penciling and inking the book for much of the   next two years. He also penciled and inked the supernatural adventures of   Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider, his name becoming very closely identified with Marvel's   monster biker. In the '80s, he drew Defenders for a long run before turning his attention to Marvel's   adaptation of Hasbro's Transformers. His early '90s work on Valiant's Solar,   Man of the Atom and Bloodshot   was extremely popular, after which Perlin went   into semiretirement.The   career of the late Gil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Werewolf By Night","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42574839546047,"sku":"9781302949488","price":161.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/marvel-masterworks-werewolf-by-night-vol-2.jpg?v=1698380119","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/marvel-masterworks-werewolf-by-night-vol-02-hard-cover","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
