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!

Ol' Groove's Request Line: "The Skull of the Lizard-Man!" by Moench and Hama

What it is, Groove-philes! Ever since Ol' Groove ran a post about the far-out art Russ Heath provided for Doug Moench's script for Ka-Zar #12 (which you can read here), Groove-dom assembled has been clamoring for the conclusion to Moench's cataclysmic cliff-hanger. Well, Ol' Groove has heard your cry, baby! Here's the soul-searing conclusion of Moench's savage saga, "The Skull of the Lizard-Man!", with art by Larry (Wulf the Barbarian) Hama and Fred Kida from Ka-Zar #13 (November 1975). Enjoy!
