Howard the Duck #3

Howard the Duck returns in issue #3 of his 2015 Marvel series, and the cover by Joe Quinones and Joe Rivera perfectly captures the beleaguered duck's world-weary charm — Howard's oversized head dominates the foreground, his signature black hat tilted low as a massive fist looms ominously in the upper corner. Parading across the brim of his hat is a colorful procession of elderly figures rendered in vivid hues, their walkers and canes hinting at the story's intriguingly titled adventure, "Nothing's Gonna Touch You in These Golden Years." With Chip Zdarsky at the helm and Rico Renzi's warm, eye-catching colors lighting up the orange background, this issue radiates the offbeat humor and heart that makes this series such a treat.
