Howard the Duck #4

The finale of this 2008 Marvel limited series finds Howard looking genuinely alarmed as he's swarmed by an angry, sign-waving crowd demanding "Human Rights for Humans!" and calling him out as an "Illegal Alien" — a chaotic scene that captures the absurdist social satire Howard does best. The cover art does a wonderful job conveying the sheer wall of hostility closing in on our feathered everyman, microphones thrust forward and protesters surging from every direction. A fitting, energetic cap to the four-issue run from Templeton, Bobillo, Sosa, and Pereyra.
