Howard the Duck #1

Howard the Duck is back — "trapped in a world he's grown accustomed to" — and this 2016 Marvel collection kicks off with a wonderfully cozy cover by Joe Quinones, who handles both pencils and inks. The scene frames Howard in his fedora and red suit, cradling a tabby cat at a cluttered desk, flanked by two human companions — a silver-haired woman in orange and green and a tattooed young woman in red — while a familiar wall-crawler lurks in the background outside the window. It's a warm, lived-in tableau that perfectly captures Howard's odd domesticity, making this a genuinely charming entry point into one of Marvel's most offbeat characters.
