Howard Duckson

Bronze Age Marvel UK gave us Howard Duckson, who splashed onto the scene in 1983's Super Spider-Man TV Comic #531, brought to life by the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and Carmine Infantino. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, he's a genuine rarity — the kind of deep-cut find that makes long-box digging worthwhile — sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Mr. Fantastic, and Susan Storm Richards, as well as the wonderfully pulpy Monster from the Lost Lagoon. The fact that his footprint stretches all the way to a Secret Wars: Battleworld Omnibus appearance makes Howard Duckson a tantalizing little mystery for collectors who love chasing the obscure corners of the Marvel UK universe.
