Marvel Comics is taking advantage of some of the amusing positive reactions that came out of Guardians of the Galaxy this past week to bring back one of the more colorful and misunderstood characters of their universe with Howards the Duck. The publisher has decided to bring back the omnibus for a new printing in the fall that will collect stories from Adventures Into Fear #19, Man-Thing #1, Giant-Size Man-Thing #4-5, Howard the Duck #1 – #33, Marvel Treasury Edition #12 and Marvel Team-Up #96. It’s a pretty solid collection of material that will definitely fill fans in on one of the more unusual characters out there.
“Created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik in 1973, Howard the Duck would go on to become a staple of the Marvel comics of that era. Born on a planet populated by talking waterfowl, Howard the Duck found himself trapped on a world he never made: ours! The archetypal outsider, Howard waddled his way through the Marvel Universe for years armed with nothing but his razor sharp wit. Now, explore every one of these groundbreaking original stories as they take you from Duckworld to our world, in a Howard the Duck experience like no other!”
I see howard the duck is coming back in the comics. Good
It’d be fun to see him cameo in a few of the films as comic relief. Whether that translates to an authentic Howard the Duck movie, I’d doubt it. It was fun seeing him in GotG though.
