This is a werewolf tale like you’ve never read before. Among the wide array of comics that I look over on a daily basis, this one definitely has gotten my attention. The title, VIRGIN WOLF, sticks in my mind, and it does not matter whether or not there is any tangible connection in this comic to Virginia Woolf.

I love the sort of exotic location, 1600s France, and the interesting match-up with a Native American mentor. And it’s always a special pleasure when someone who studied writing jumps into endeavors like graphic novels. Sounds great!
It definitely caught my eye.
