WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #28

The cover shows moderate wear including light corner blunting at the top right and bottom left, a soft vertical crease near the spine, and a bit of surface rubbing along the top edge near the price box. Colors remain bright with no fading or staining visible, and there are no major tears or writing on the cover. The book is in a protective sleeve, which slightly obscures fine surface detail; interior and back cover were not assessed.

Werewolf by Night #28 (April 1975) arrived during the title's mid-run stretch under writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin, the creative team most closely associated with shaping Jack Russell's lycanthropic adventures through the mid-1970s. The issue is part of the same run that, a few issues later, would introduce Moon Knight, and it reflects Marvel's broader horror-comics push of the era alongside titles like Tomb of Dracula and Ghost Rider. As a standard, non-variant issue with no first appearance, death, or landmark story attached to it, it functions primarily as a representative chapter of a well-regarded horror series rather than a standalone event book.

Market data shows a modest but steady demand curve: certified copies climb from double digits in mid-grade to $160 at the top of the census in 9.8, with only a single 9.8 sale recorded and no 9.9 or 10.0 copies certified at all. The scarcity of high-grade submissions relative to the 107 total graded copies supports a real but limited premium for top-end slabs, while raw copies in low and mid grade trade closer to bulk Bronze Age horror pricing. There is no evidence of speculative spikes or variant-driven demand; values track typical collected-run interest rather than key-issue speculation.

This issue suits Bronze Age horror completists and Werewolf by Night run collectors more than investors chasing a single grail. Entry-level and mid-grade copies remain affordable and readily available, making the book approachable for readers assembling the full Moench/Perlin arc, while a clean 9.8 commands a real but modest premium reflecting its rarity at the top of the census rather than any landmark content.
