One casualty of the delayed publication of Comics International was a special “Off The Frame” cartoon by John Freeman and Paul Harrsion-Davies, the brief to note news of a proposed Weerewolf by Night film project and tie in with issue’s Captain America feature.
Something of the moment, it’s unlikely it will now feature in the magazine, which is particularly disappointing since Paul, to his credit, turned the art around to a tight deadline, only for the title to fall into a publishing void for some months. Such is life in publishing sometimes…
With that in mind, I’m happy to publish it here for your (hopeful) enjoyment… Comments welcome!
