Stargod Returns!


The editors at Marvel had decreed in 1981 that John Jameson should be "cured" of being the Man-Wolf, which happened in Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #3. Expect for a couple of lackluster runs as a supporting character in Captain America and Spider-Man, John spent the next two and half decades in comics limbo. But in 2004 writer Dan Slott brought John back as a romantic interest in She-Hulk. In 2006 Slott not only got John back into Man-Wolf form, he actually brought back the Stargod aspect of the character as well!

Man-Wolf

Our first entry is a personal favorite, the Man-Wolf from Marvel Comics.

Starting as a sympathetic villain in Amazing Spider-Man, the Man-Wolf reached his pinnacle when he became an heroic werewolf hero in Marvel Premiere.

Welcome to the Manimal Zoo

For a long time I've been interested in human-animal hybrid characters in comics, cartoons, animation and fiction. This blog will highlight some of my favorite manimal characters of yesterday and today.
