About the series
Launching from Image Comics in 2007, Robert Kirkman and artist Jason Howard crafted a 25-issue run that reimagines the werewolf mythos through the eyes of Gary Hampton, a family man whose new lycanthropic abilities thrust him into a world of supernatural conflict. Balancing dark horror with Kirkman’s trademark character-driven storytelling, the series pits its reluctant hero against ancient threats like the enigmatic Zechariah, while exploring the bonds between Gary, his wife Chloe, and his father-in-law. A standout in the late-2000s creator-owned landscape, The Astounding Wolf-Man matters for its fresh, grounded take on a classic monster archetype, blending superhero action with personal stakes.
