In "The Werewolf of Wilmach!" from Astonishing #17 (1952), a desperate thief turns to deception in a superstitious village plagued by fear of a werewolf. After a violent confrontation with the local banker—whose arm bears a mysterious werewolf tattoo—he concocts a twisted plan to frame the village idiot. With the help of a clever ruse and a forged tattoo, he sets the stage for a deadly misdirection. But when the idiot unexpectedly transforms into a real werewolf, the tables turn in a chilling twist. Tony DiPreta handles both pencils and inks for the eerie, atmospheric interior art, while Sol Brodsky's cover captures the story's primal dread.
