WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #29

Cover shows good color and gloss with no major creases visible; slight wear at the top edge and a faint bend near the top right corner. Spine appears mostly tight with no visible major stress lines from this angle, though slight rubbing may be present at the corners. The book is stored in a protective sleeve, which may obscure minor edge wear. Interior and back cover were not assessed, so grade is based solely on the visible front cover condition.

Werewolf by Night #29 arrived during the height of Marvel's 1970s horror expansion, part of an ongoing series chronicling the curse of Jack Russell. Doug Moench scripted the majority of the title's Bronze Age run, building out the supporting cast and mythology issue by issue, with Don Perlin among the regular pencilers handling art chores through this stretch. The issue carries no first appearance, death, or other landmark event and is best understood as a representative chapter in a long-running Marvel horror series rather than a stand-alone highlight.

Market activity reflects that status: population data shows a large certified base with relatively even distribution through the mid grades, and pricing stays flat across grades 8.5 through 9.0 before climbing meaningfully at 9.4 and above. That curve is typical of a well-collected but non-key Bronze Age book, where scarcity of true high-grade survivors, rather than character or story significance, drives the premium at the top of the grading scale. Sales volume at 9.6 and 9.8 remains thin relative to the overall census, indicating that pristine copies are genuinely hard to find despite the book's overall availability.

This issue is bought primarily by Werewolf by Night series and Marvel horror-line completists assembling full Bronze Age runs, along with Doug Moench and Don Perlin bibliography collectors. Lower and mid-grade raw copies circulate cheaply and steadily as reading or run-filler copies, while nicer raw copies and certified holders in the high 9-range see occasional interest from grade-conscious buyers. Only the small handful of 9.6 and 9.8 slabs command real premiums, reflecting condition scarcity rather than character demand.
