Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

Beyond #1 Features One Of The Best Werewolf Covers Ever, at Auction
One of the coolest werewolf covers ever, for Beyond #1, is taking bids at Heritage Auctions today. Check this thing out.
Beyond #1, published by Ace in 1950, is a prime example of the type of cover that they do not do anymore. I have never read this comic or knew it existed until about five minutes ago, but I have been staring over every inch of its cover since I laid eyes on it. This has to be one of the best werewolf covers we have ever seen, and it is so cool that it hurts. We never get this hyper-focused, single-character covers that menace you at first glance anymore, which is a shame. A very since CGC graded 5.0 copy of this book is taking bids today at Heritage Auctions, and you can drool over it below.

I love werewolves, and this truly is a stunning piece that I will have to add to my collection someday. For now, though, you can bid on this copy by going right here, and be sure to check out all of the other wonderful stuff taking bids in this auction as well.
