Howard the Duck #8

Howard the Duck #8 bursts off the page with one of 1977's most audacious covers — a cigar-chomping Howard crashing through a newspaper front page that screams "HOWARD FOR PREZ," surrounded by headlines about assassination attempts and a certain President yelling "Fowl." It's a gleefully satirical snapshot of mid-'70s American politics, with Gene Colan, John Romita, and inker Steve Leialoha delivering a cover that's equal parts absurdist comedy and sharp social commentary. With Steve Gerber, David Anthony Kraft, and Don McGregor sharing writing duties inside, this issue of the duck "trapped in a world he never made" promises plenty of wit to match that unforgettable cover.
