"Kill Me a Monster" delivers a chilling twist on the classic monster tale in this 1954 issue of Menace, where a man whose cruelty toward dogs takes a terrifying turn after a werewolf bite. Written and drawn entirely by Bill Everett, the story unfolds with a grim, grounded dread as his violent past comes back to haunt him—literally—when he transforms into a beast he can no longer control. The haunting cover by Gene Colan captures the story’s eerie tension, making this a standout entry in the early Marvel horror lineup.
