Thanks for your help, but after some extensive research, I found the book!😀It's titled [Creepy #100 special edition][1] August 1978 with a picture of Cthullu kneeling on the cover, as if he's holding the book title on his shoulders.The story about the kitsune was called "Tale of a Fox",and the one about the wolf found laying outside,as if injured, "Hell Hound". Amazon.com sold it to me,so all is good in the neighborhood! 👍
