The Wendigo

The Wendigo is an Algonquin Indian myth based on the idea of the spirit of this beast taking over peoples bodies. Those who engaged in cannibalism were believed to be especially at risk.
Marvel comics has appropriated the idea and this is their concept of the way the flesh eater would look.
He's a classic character in the Marvel line up and I wish they would use him more often. I have been thinking for a while now he would make for a great lead character in his own more adult oriented horror comic.
This is another splash page (dual page layout) I am including in my comic portfolio.
