Howard the Duck #5

Howard the Duck goes full creature-of-the-night in this 1980 Marvel magazine, with cover artist Larry Fredericks painting a gloriously unhinged scene: Howard himself decked out in Dracula's cape and fangs, lurching through a moonlit graveyard while a bewildered yellow duck cowers among the tombstones. The cover banner cheerfully announces "The Un-Dead Duck!" — and with Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden handling the lead "Drakula" story inside, the promise of sharp humor tangled up with genuine horror atmosphere feels entirely earned.
