<p>You wanted more Howard the Duck? Well, you’re getting more Howard the Duck! <em>Marvel Masterworks</em> finishes off Steve Gerber’s satirical masterpiece collecting 16-issues and an Annual’s worth of quackstastic adventures starring Howard and his gal pal, Beverly! Howard finds himself lost on the island of his greatest enemy, Dr. Bong, and Beverly faces an ultimatum: become Mrs. Beverly Bong or the duck gets fricasseed! Things get worse for our feathered friend when he undergoes a monstrous transformation. The world isn’t ready for Howard the Human! So it’s time to go off-planet in a space-opera adventure that could only be called “Star Waaugh!” Joining Gerber for his run is artist Gene Colan, rendering the hilarity on every page. May the Farce Be with You!</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CONAN IN RAW BLACK AND WHITE!</strong></h4>



<p><em>Savage Sword of Conan</em>, the cornerstone of Marvel’s black-and-white magazine line, offered up stories of fiction’s most famous barbarian unencumbered by the Comics Code. With the rules of civilized publishing cast off,&nbsp;Savage Sword&nbsp;presented ferocious, untamed tales the likes of which Conan himself would approve. Writer Roy Thomas and artistic greats, including John Buscema and Neal Adams, took full advantage and the results were a sensation. Multipart sagas like “The People of the Black Circle” luxuriate in extended tellings, while a Buscema take on “The Tower of the Elephant” explores the nuance an all-time Robert E. Howard classic. And we’re topping it off with&nbsp;<em>Marvel Comics Super Special</em>&nbsp;#2, a tale of vengeance lavished with fully painted coloring.</p>
