In Howard the Duck #6, Howard, Beverly, and Truman seek help from the eccentric Ducktor Strange in the bizarre town of New Stork, hoping he can send them home.

Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Michael Golden, with inks by Bob McLeod and letters by Jim Novak, this issue features a cover by John Pound that captures the story’s offbeat charm.
