Howard the Duck: The Complete Collection #4

Howard the Duck and Spider-Man share the spotlight on this energetic cover, with the wall-crawler swinging dynamically atop a crumbling stone structure while Howard — cigar and all — scrambles alongside him beneath a full moon and city skyline. This 2017 Marvel trade paperback, with cover pencils by Alan Kupperberg and inks by Terry Austin, collects a stretch of Howard's wonderfully offbeat adventures and makes a great entry point into one of Marvel's most charmingly irreverent corners of its universe. At $34.99, it's a satisfying chunk of duck-flavored comics history in a single volume.
