The Space Ace

Dreamed up by the legendary Steve Gerber and Gene Colan for Howard the Duck #12 in 1977, The Space Ace is a delightfully offbeat Bronze Age creation from Marvel's most wonderfully anarchic corner of the universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, curious figure — the kind of character who haunts the margins of comics history in the best possible way, popping up in the wild company of The Demon, The Starchild, and Winda Wester across issues that defined Gerber's gloriously strange run. Collectors who dig deep into Howard the Duck and its associated volumes will find The Space Ace waiting there, a small but genuine piece of one of the Bronze Age's most singular creative visions.
