I drew it, and it was never published. I believe later George Perez did something with the Man-Wolf character...<br />CBA: Oh, this was before the start of the Man-Wolf series in Creatures on the Loose?<br />Buckler: Yeah. I think Stan liked my pages where I'd handled the Black Panther and he thought "Wow, let's have Buckler try an animal-like character--he seems to be good at this."<br /><br />My guess is that Stan had this in mind for Savage Tales, since werewolves were still prohibited by the CCA, and as of this Bullpen Bulletins, he probably didn't know that Savage Tales would stall after issue 1 (cover dated February 1971).<br />Apparently he liked the concept enough to have Conway incorporate the name in his Spider-Man run. I wonder how closely the John Jameson version followed the unpublished Buckler version? Maybe it's confirmation bias, but now that I think of it, the Man-Wolf character looks a lot like a Buckler design.M W Gallaherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727667427780107723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-3598858081336789812015-05-27T16:05:38.770-04:002015-05-27T16:05:38.770-04:00But John Jameson didn't become the Man-Wolf un...But John Jameson didn't become the Man-Wolf until after Stan Lee had left the Spider-Man title and Gerry Conway followed him.

Didn't check all the art credits but he was the lead story in Creatures on the Loose #30 (July 1974) to the end of the title with #37. George Tuska and George Perez were the credited artists on the couple issues I checked so I'm not sure where the Buckler art might have appeared.<br />Did Jameson get cured?JohnJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322910801412594388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-47828603887519402052015-05-27T07:34:41.420-04:002015-05-27T07:34:41.420-04:00Thanks for mentioning Will Jordan.

One was a member of the Nairobi Trio on Ernie Kovacs' show. And Will Jordan from Ed Sullivan. Brings back terrific memories.Leslie Feagannoreply@blogger.com
