Go, Read: Brian Cremins On Curse Of The Werewolf

image

The scholar Brian Cremins has written a personal essay about the Power Records/Marvel Comics Curse Of The Werewolf effort for LA Review Of Books. If you're a a fan at all of how an expression of pop culture can be a significant touchstone for someone sometimes because of, sometimes distinct from, the quality of the work represented -- this might be a good essay for you. One thing that's nice about the piece is that Cremins engages with this particular comic in his own life but also touches on horror comics in general, in part by bringing in astute observations from a couple of other writers. That continuity of horror imagery and character was very powerful to me at a young age, and I wonder if it's for the same broad reasons.
