1st appearance of Man-Wolf; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Highest Graded
Marvel's monster mania of the early '70s inspired one of the Bronze Age's most enduring characters with Man-Wolf's debut in Amazing Spider-Man #124. John Jameson had been around as J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut son since the title's first issue. Gerry Conway was inspired to send John back into space, where he picked up a moon rock that turned out to be an interdimensional ruby that transformed him into a werewolf.
The character was an immediate hit, and Jameson's alter-ego of Man-Wolf soon had him headlining his own stories in Creatures on the Loose and other books. Man-Wolf has also been a regular presence in different animated Spider-Man series. The character of John Jameson has had a few big-screen moments, but fans keep speculating over Man-Wolf joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Until then, Jameson and Man-Wolf remain reliable presences across the Marvel Universe variants, ensuring this first appearance remains a top collectible.
This gorgeous 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man #124 preserves all the original Bronze Age beauty of John Romita's legendary cover. The rich colors retain all the impact that had the Man-Wolf's first appearance bounding off the newsstands of 1973 — when it was already a challenge to find a copy of this book in such outstanding condition!
