Bernie Wrightson, for Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf.
“Something inhuman has come to Tarker’s Mills, as unseen as the full moon riding the night sky high above. It is the Werewolf, and there is no more reason for its coming now than there would be for the arrival of cancer, or a psychotic with murder on his mind, or a killer tornado” (Chapter 1, January, p. 14).
