Synopsis for "The Hero-Killer Principle!"Edit

Hodiah Twist attempts to solve a series of killings that occur upon subway cars. He finds himself and his partner locked into one as the lights go out and the fellow passengers are picked off one by one. Hodiah's partner thinks a werewolf may be the killer as the attacks occur during a full moon but Hodiah dismisses the theory. It turns out though that a young boy does indeed transform into a werewolf. When Hodiah burns its face the beast takes to the roof of the subway car. It gets decapitated by a low bridge but the body still moves. Hodiah's partner supplies him with some silver to put the beast to rest.

Notes

• Marschall is editor, Macchio is associate editor, Thomas is consulting editor.

• The Hero-Killer Principle! story wrongly credited to Rick Marschall.

• Death By Disco!, the newspaper Angel works at is referred to as the "East Village Oracle", although in Nobody Anybody Knows it was known as the "New York Oracle". The name of the paper may have changed, or as happens often in the 70s black-and-white magazines, shoddy editing failed to catch the discrepancy.
