Howard the Duck #33

Howard the Duck sits bug-eyed and overwhelmed atop a mountain of cash and coins, his polka-dotted tie askew and his gloved hands clutching his head in exasperation — a perfectly absurdist image for Marvel's favorite fowl "trapped in a world he never made." Brian Bolland's cover art for this "Material Duck" issue is sharp and expressive, capturing Howard's signature blend of existential panic and dark comedy with striking clarity. Boasting an all-new 30-page epic, this September 1986 issue offers a generous dose of the satirical misadventures that made Howard one of Marvel's most delightfully offbeat characters.
