The chilling classic Defenders tale “The Haunting of Christiansboro” (issue # 103) was among those stories that creeped me out a little when I was a kid. I lost my first copy back in grade school, but in late 2005, I found another copy in a back issue bin of a Binondo Media stall in
The issue is dark but ultimately uplifting. It’s one of a few comic book horror stories that I’m drawn to. Others that I like, which inspire fear in different and exciting ways, include Walking Dead, Spectre, Courtney Crumrin, and of course, Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing stories.

Woohoo, a fellow fan! I dunno if they showed the show in its entirety here. The werewolftv fan site says it ran for two seasons.

I want the DVD!!! :D
