In "Way of the Werewolf," Philip Shaw awakens three centuries after being frozen, only to discover Earth has been abandoned and its people gone—leaving him the last human in a world now ruled by alien scientists who see him as a specimen. Written by Jack Oleck and illustrated by Ricardo Villamonte, this eerie tale blends sci-fi dread with a haunting sense of isolation, all rendered in stark, atmospheric art. The cover, by Bernie Wrightson, captures the story’s unsettling tone with its striking, otherworldly imagery.
