WEREWOLF HUNTER "Tentacle Terror from Beelzebub's Void!!!"

Now is that a catchy/kitchy title, or what?

For a guy called "Werewolf Hunter", Prof Broussard doesn't spend much time actually hunting werewolves!

This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Ranger Comics #13 (1943) takes Broussard even further afield thanks to future Supergirl artist Jim Mooney, though the writer using the pen-name "Armand Weygand" remains unknown!
But the biggest change will occur next week as an artist who escaped real-life horror takes over the strip!

BTW, we're part of the amazingly-kool CountDown to Halloween 2019 Blogathon!

WEREWOLF HUNTER "Dungeon Dweller of Horror House"

Professor Broussard didn't hunt only werewolves...

...but anything otherworldly that threatened mankind!

We've skipped ahead several issues to show how the series evolved into the Professor going after anything paranormal!

You'll note a new aspect added...volume numbers indicating the stories are from Broussard's journals.

Note the volume numbers don't actually match the number of stories presented!

This tale is "Volume VI", yet it's the fifth tale in the series!

Was an earlier story scrapped?

We'll never know!

This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Ranger Comics #12 (1943) presents the change of concept along with a new art team, penciler Saul Rosen and inker Jim Mooney, though the writer using the pen-name "Armand Weygand" remains unknown!
