The artwork has a photo copy attached of a book shelf on the right side. The photo copy goes from the middle of the page over to the far right of the artwork, it goes down and curves around the werewolf. The werewolf is all on the original art page, and so is the staircase, floor, and the books at the bottom of the page. The photo copy continues down to just above the books at the bottom. There is a lot of original Manco art added on the photo copy, including the three candle sticks, the oil lamp and all the cobwebs.
I picked this series up when it came out based on the great artwork of Manco. I never got to finished the whole story because the book was cancelled. There were six issues under the title "Werewolf by Night" and then parts 7 and 8 of the story were continued in Strange Tales #1 and #2. Then Strange Tales was cancelled and part 9 was never published. So this page never saw print. That's a shame (on Marvel).
Chis Munn gave a run down of what happened.
"I was a big fan of the Strange Tales books when they were released, with the promise that they would be a comparable match to DC's thriving Vertigo line of mature horror titles. That was the intent behind Strange Tales at first, a competing imprint that would reimagine some of their horror characters for a mature readership. Things started off very strong with some great creators like J.M. DeMatteis and Liam Sharpe on Man-Thing, Warren Ellis and Ariel Olivetti on Satana, Doug Moench and Tommy Edwards on Moon Knight, and Paul Jenkins and Leonardo Manco on Werewolf by Night. Then, the publisher got cold feet in the midst of Marvel's bankruptcy, and suddenly the mature reader books had to meet all-ages requirements laid out by the Comics Code Authority. Warren Ellis pulled his Satana series due to an unwillingness to compromise and the other titles came out with little fanfare. That's not to say they weren't good, all three launch books for Strange Tales were great comics (especially Man-Thing), but you could tell that the creators were being held back from what they originally wanted to do."
"Werewolf by Night, like a lot of comics from this time, was cut down way too soon. The series would see two more chapters in the "Strange Tales" anthology, which ended before this story arc could conclude. It remains a sad "if only" tale, but it produced eight issues of high-quality writing and artwork. I don't just recommend this issue, I recommend finding the whole series and giving it a read. Grade: A+" - Chris Munn
