Synopsis for the 1st Story

Astounding Wolf-Man Vol 1 2 001

Gary trains with Zechariah to better use his Wolf form.

Gary Hampton and the man continue their training. The man mentions that Gary has been improving as they have been training for weeks. Gary says he has been able to control his transformations, but not the strength he has. He also mentions about how his wife doesn’t trust him. The man, who’s name is revealed to be Zechariah, says that he can use an ally. Gary asks how doesn’t he get blood since vampires need it. Zechariah reveals that he doesn’t always drink human blood, sometimes animals. This reliefs Gary and Zechariah calls Gary “lucky,” as his lycanthropy gives him super-strength, speed, stamina, agility, enhanced senses, as well as accelerated healing when he reverts back and forth through transformations. Zechariah tells Gary that they must leave as the sun is coming up.

Back at the Hampton Estate, Gary arrives home to his wife, Rebecca Hampton. Rebecca argues that Gary’s appearances can make people find out about his lycanthropy. Gary reveals that his lycanthropy has allow him to stay awake and that it helps him save people.

Days Later, Zechariah and Gary go to Art Rosenbaum’s shop and he is given a costume. The costume includes a bulletproof vest and spandex pants along with gauntlets.
