Marvel Comics has revealed new art for the upcoming Capwolf & the Howling Commandos miniseries written by Stephanie Phillips with art by Carlos Magno. The first issue drops into comic shops on November 11th.
“This is the kind of story I was dying to tell at Marvel, blending my love of historical fiction with the incredible history of the characters in the Marvel Universe,” Phillips told AIPT. “CapWolf and the Howling Commandos may be a war story, but it also has horror, romance, and a few new characters that we introduce along the way. And just wait until you see Carlos Magno’s incredible artwork on this series…”
So what’s Capwolf & the Howling Commandos #1 about?
When Captain America is transformed into a werewolf on the front lines of World War II, he’ll need the help of the Howling Commandos to take down a band of Nazi cultists who intend to use supernatural forces to turn the tide of battle. But can Cap control the skeptical, jaded Commandos when he can barely control himself?
With the second issue out November 15th, check out Ryan Brown’s second issue cover below.
The first issue features a main cover by Ryan Brown with variant covers by Gary Frank, Declan Shalvey, and a hidden gem Jack Kirby cover too. Check those out below!

New York, NY— August 3, 2023 — In the early 90s, Steve Rogers transformed into CAPWOLF in writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Rik Levins’ unforgettable “Man and Wolf” story arc. Now over 30 years later, CAPWOLF is back in his own limited series, CAPWOLF & THE HOWLING COMMMANDOS!

After years of combat, this elite squad of soldiers thought they’ve seen it all but this might be their wildest adventure yet as the series captures the spirit of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s classic wartime storytelling with a modern mystical twist!
