Howard the Duck #24

That existential cover question — "Where do you go, what do you do, the night after you saved the universe?" — perfectly captures the sardonic wit that made this series a standout of 1978 Marvel. Gene Colan and Alan Weiss frame a visibly frazzled Howard striding anxiously through a gritty urban street, a group of rough-looking bystanders looming behind him while a disheveled figure lies sprawled in the foreground. It's a wonderfully off-kilter image that nails Howard's perpetual predicament: a duck forever out of place in a world he never made.
