"Children of the Night"

The plot follows Captain America and Doctor Druid as they investigate a series of werewolf attacks in Starkesboro, Massachusetts. 

  • The Werewolf Siege: Cap and Dr. Druid find themselves surrounded by a pack of werewolves. Dr. Druid uses an invisibility spell to help them escape and regroup.
  • Wolverine vs. Captain America: Meanwhile, the villainous Nightshade attempts to turn Wolverine into a werewolf. While his healing factor resists the transformation, she uses hypnosis (via the villain Dredmund) to turn him into a mindless killer instead.
  • The Battle: Cap encounters the feral Wolverine, and a brutal fight ensues. Cap eventually manages to knock Wolverine into a Jeep, but the battle ends when Moonhunter intervenes and tranquilizes Cap.
  • The Transformation: The issue concludes with Cap waking up in Nightshade's lab. In the final cliffhanger, she begins injecting him with her werewolf serum.
