Reviewer Notes
Gil Kane and Tom Sutton were true allstars at Marvel Comics in 1973 and their work definitely shows it. With Mike Ploog gone from the series, I can’t think of any other artist team better to replace him. If you are looking for examples of awesome Bronze Age comic book art, look no further than Werewolf By Night #11.
I’m enjoying the series so far, but some of the villains and ancillary heroes have been third rate so far. The Hangman is an obvious prototype for Frank Castle, who would hit the scene in 1974. We only get a taste of the Hangman here. It will be interesting to see where it leads us. I give this issue four out of five stars.
