Wrightson, Berni (Illustrations) (illustrator). Originally conceived as a story-calendar, "Cycle of the Werewolf" grew to be a beautifully illustrated novella in 12 segments about Marty Coslaw, a young boy who must convince the townspeople of Tarker's Mills that there is a werewolf in their midst. No one knows who will be attacked next, but snarls that sound like human words can be heard and all around are the footprints of a monster whose hunger cannot be sated.
When the full moon shines, a paralyzing fear descends on the isolated Maine town of Tarker Mills. Terror began in January - by the light of the full moon. Finally, partial-page b&w images fuel the intensity. Illustrations by Bernie Wrightson include dramatic, richly colored full-page plates throughout - many not seen in the Land of Enchantment edition - along w/chiaroscuro (high contrast) two-page spreads in black & white greeting reader at beginning of each chapter, arranged by months of the year. Heavy stock coated pages very good no writing. Black glossy pictorial wraps w/bold, raised silver titles, moderate shelf wear. Signed for original signee by Berni Wrightson in 2009 at a Dallas-Fort Worth comic convention. Beautifully signed by Berni Wrightson at title page: "Berni Wrightson". Stated First Signet Printing, April, 1985 number-line beginning w/2.
