I assume he is a lycanthrope like Canker was, but did he only appear in the UK necroscope series? Interesting how his surname is a play off of Lycaon the first werewolf of Greek mythology.

The Lost Years vol 2.

Another good read.

After you read this you will understand the greek myth werewolf and why they match up, another of Lumleys researching the heck out of these beast.

Yet another excellent wrod-play by Brian.
Since I'm greek, I would like to add-up this bit of info: "lycos" (or lykos, it's no difference) is the greek word for "wolf".
Brian always does his research in depth.....

Lost Years Vol. II eh? I'm assuming he appears in the UK version alone, since I've found no mention of him in the summary of the US version. Or was he simply not mentioned? I'd like to find out before I go and pay the extra money to have the UK version sent here. I wouldn't mind of course, but that's just because I'm such a BL fan =) .

Wamus- Just so that you know, the Uk and US versions are always the exact same, with exception of the covers. That is the only difference between the two, the stories are always the exact same to the letter. The only other noticable differnce are the story summeries, since they are written by different people, to appeal to different audiences. (I.E. US audiences and UK audiences) If you go to the Book section here at the site you will see what I mean. The jacket summeries are here on the site, and even though they are different the story inside the book is always the same. One other small difference that is probably not even noticable are printing defects. For example The US version of "The Source has a printing defect (A drawing is on the wrong page) The UK version is printed correctly.

By the way Radu is the main impetus of both Lost years volumes.
I hope this answers your question.
