Werewolf by Night (birth name Jacob Russoff, legal name Jacob Russell, nicknamed Jack) is a fictional character, an antiheroic werewolf in the Marvel Comics universe. The Werewolf by Night (usually referred to by other characters simply as the Werewolf) first appeared in ''Marvel Spotlight'' #2. ==Publication history== The Werewolf by Night character first appeared in ''Marvel Spotlight'' #2 (Feb. 1972) and was based on an idea by Roy Thomas. The series name was suggested by Stan Lee and the debut story was crafted by Gerry Conway and Mike Ploog. The character made additional appearances in ''Marvel Spotlight'' #3 and #4 and then graduated to his own eponymous series in September 1972.〔Sanderson "1970s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 157〕 ''Werewolf by Night'' was published for 43 issues and ran through March 1977. Issue #32 (August 1975) contains the first appearance of Moon Knight. Jack Russell co-starred with Tigra in ''Giant Size Creatures'' #1 (July 1974), which was the first appearance of Greer Grant as Tigra instead of the Cat.〔(''Giant-Size Creatures'' ) at the Grand Comics Database〕〔Sanderson "1970s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 165: "Greer Nelson, the super-hero known as the Cat, was exposed to lethal radiation. To save her life, members of an ancient race called the Cat People transformed her into Tigra the Were-Woman, a catlike being."〕 That series was retitled ''Giant-Size Werewolf'' with its second issue. Jack Russell was dormant for most of the 1980s. The character's appearance was radically revamped in ''Moon Knight'' #29 (March 1983). He guest-starred in various issues of ''Spider-Woman'', ''West Coast Avengers'', and ''Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme''. Werewolf by Night was later revived in the pages of ''Marvel Comics Presents'', where he appeared irregularly from 1991-1993. He made regular appearances as a supporting cast member in the pages of ''Morbius, the Living Vampire'' from 1993-1995. A letters page in an issue of ''Morbius'' mentioned that a ''Werewolf by Night'' miniseries by Len Kaminski and James Fry was in the works, but the miniseries was never published. ''Werewolf by Night'', volume 2 ran for six issues in 1998.〔(''Werewolf by Night'' vol. 2 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 The series was written by Paul Jenkins and penciled by Leonardo Manco. After the book's cancellation, the story was continued in the pages of ''Strange Tales'', which also featured the Man-Thing. That volume of ''Strange Tales'' was canceled after only two issues due to poor sales. In early 2007, Marvel published a one-shot entitled ''Legion of Monsters: Werewolf by Night'', with art by Greg Land. In January 2009, Jack Russell was featured in the four-issue limited series ''Dead of Night Featuring Werewolf by Night'', from Marvel's mature readers MAX imprint. The series was written by Duane Swierczynski, with art by Mico Suayan. He was featured as a member of Morbius' Midnight Sons in ''Marvel Zombies 4'' in 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Werewolf by Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
