Howard the Duck Annual

Marvel’s Howard the Duck Annual is a single-issue, one-shot special from 1977, written by Steve Gerber and M. Skrenes with art by Val Mayerik. It expands on the satirical, existential adventures of Marvel’s most cantankerous waterfowl, offering a standalone story that captures the offbeat, socially aware tone of Gerber’s classic run. Though brief, this annual stands as a compact artifact of the era’s willingness to let a cigar-chomping duck skewer everything from politics to pop culture.
