Cap Wolf & Thanks !!

First of all, thank you to anyone who came by to see me at last week's Seattle Punk Rock Flea Market.  Your interest and kind words made for a great first time experience at this local event.

Well, as a kid I fell off of Mark Gruenwald's Captain America run somewhere after Steve's legendary clash with John Walker aka The Captain aka USAgent in #350.  Had I just held on five and a half more years I'd have read of Steve's era of Lycanthropy, but the idea has popped up enough over the years where I couldn't help but resist the Marvel Legends Captain America with a switchable Cap Wolf head when it was  released last year (revolver courtesy of a Simpsons' Snake figure in photo).

While looking into Cap Wolf I was shocked to find that Gruenwald's run was 135 issues (307-422,424-443) and 10 years long (1985-1995) all told.  That's quite a run, and one with some obvious ups and down if you peruse the covers on GCD.  You gotta love the timely pun of the story title in 1992's #405. "Dances with Werewolves", what gold!!
