WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #20

Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners and no visible creases or tears. Minor edge wear is visible at the top right and bottom right corners, and slight whitening along the top edge near the spine. The book is in a protective sleeve which limits full assessment of surface sheen, and interior and back cover were not assessed.

Werewolf by Night #20 arrived in the fall of 1974 during the title's steady Bronze Age run, written by Doug Moench with art credited to Don Perlin, who had settled in as the series' primary penciler following Mike Ploog's departure earlier in the run. The book continues the ongoing saga of Jack Russell, Marvel's lycanthropic antihero, and reflects the horror-adjacent, monster-driven output that defined much of Marvel's mid-1970s line as the Comics Code relaxed its restrictions on supernatural content. The issue is a solid representative of the series' interior consistency during this period rather than a milestone entry in its own right.

Market data shows a typical long-running Bronze Age curve: certified copies are plentiful, with well over a hundred CGC Universal submissions recorded and a healthy spread of sales across nearly every grade. Values climb gradually through the mid grades before rising more sharply at 9.4 and above, with the largest premium reserved for the small population of 9.8 copies, where sales have remained active and prices have held in the $275-$325 range over the past year. Demand is driven primarily by Werewolf by Night series collectors and Bronze Age horror completists rather than speculative key-issue buyers, since the issue carries no first appearance, death, or landmark creative milestone.

This is a book that trades as a mid-tier Bronze Age horror title: readily available in lower and mid grades at modest cost, with a meaningful step up in value only at the top of the census where true 9.8 copies remain scarce relative to demand from series and run collectors. It suits collectors assembling a complete Werewolf by Night run or a broader 1970s Marvel horror collection, with high-grade examples appealing to condition-focused buyers chasing top-census Bronze Age material rather than investors seeking key-issue upside.
