Let’s face it: being a werewolf sucks. For reporter Larry Chaney, the plan was simple: solve some mysteries, be a hero, and maybe get a decent headline. Instead, he got bitten. Now, caught between having incredible new supernatural powers and a sudden, overwhelming urge to eat everyone in sight, Larry has to find a cure for his curse. Or, you know, die trying.
Following the breakout success of Where Wolf, writer Robert Saucedo (Birth. Movies. Death.), artist and colorist Debora Lancianese (Quicksand), and Harvey Award-winning lettering legend Jack Morelli (Afterlife with Archie) are officially reuniting for Curse of the Where Wolf. This all-new horror-comedy graphic novel pushes Larry’s hairy misadventures into even stranger, bloodier, and surprisingly more heartfelt territory.
A Recap
If you missed the first chapter of Larry’s lycanthropic midlife crisis, here is the recap. Where Wolf originally debuted as a black-and-white webcomic through Fangoria before being collected as a graphic novel in 2023. Thanks to its sharp blend of classic horror, laugh-out-loud comedy, and distinct Texas-sized absurdity, it quickly built a cult following.
In fact, it caught Hollywood’s attention. The property is currently under an active film and television option with producers Charles Horak and James Fino of Starburns Industries—the brilliant, twisted minds behind Rick and Morty.
A Furry Whodunit Mutates Into a Soul-Searching Journey
While the first book was a wonderfully contained whodunit set entirely within a furry convention, creator Rob Saucedo is blowing the doors off the sequel to celebrate the absolute limitless possibilities of the comic book medium.
“Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves—especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster. Fans of the first book are going to find the same mix of horror and comedy, but I think they’re going to be even more surprised by the book’s heart and humanity.” — Writer Rob Saucedo
Saucedo is quick to credit his powerhouse creative team for grounding the chaos. Lancianese’s art perfectly balances expressive humor with monstrous mayhem, while industry icon Jack Morelli—who has famously lettered for everyone from Stan Lee to Archie Andrews—lends his legendary touch to the pages.
King of the Hill Meets Cosmic Chaos
Blending the irreverent, stylized energy of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with the supernatural chaos of Dungeon Crawler Carl and the pitch-black horror-comedy sensibilities of I Hate This Place, this sequel has a highly specific, delightful flavor. If you love the deadpan supernatural roommate dynamics of What We Do in the Shadows but wish it had the mundane, beer-drinking Texan charm of King of the Hill, you are going to feel right at home.
Curse of the Where Wolf officially hits comic shop shelves and digital platforms on August 7, 2026. You can secure your pre-order right now before the next full moon hits!
