ESSENTIAL HOWARD THE DUCK SC - B&W. Reprints Howard The Duck #1-27, Marvel Treasury Edition #12, and Giant-Size Man-Thing #4 and #5. Steve Gerber is at his madcap best, pushing the envelope of satire with the cigar-smoking fowl named Howard. Features art by Frank Brunner, Gene Colan and others. 528 pp. I have been waiting for a collection of Steve Gerbers Howard the Duck stories for years. I have a great fondness for this material as this is the book that got me collecting comics. After re-reading the series a few years ago, Im amazed that Gerbers satire of such things as politics, religious cults, and censorship still stand up. And, of course, Gene Colans art is stunning.
