“Dave's Simulation”

In "Dave's Simulation," Howard the Duck and Beverly find themselves trapped in a surreal mall-based performance act as Duck-Man and Duck-Girl, only to be framed for the murder of their employer. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Marshall Rogers, this 1980 Marvel issue blends satire and suspense in a story that turns a mundane job into a bizarre, high-stakes mystery. The cover by John Pound captures the absurd tension perfectly.
