MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU – AND HOWARD THE DUCK! (AND HUMAN!)

You wanted more Howard the Duck? Well, you’re getting more Howard the Duck! Marvel Masterworks 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!

GET DOWN, MASTERWORKS! IT’S HOWARD THE DUCK IN 2021!

Trapped in a Masterworks he never made! There were several worthy candidates for the milestone 300^th Masterworks edition, but only one waddled away with election victory: Howard the Duck! In Howard, Steve Gerber and his artistic cohorts Val Mayerik, Frank Brunner and Gene Colan delivered one of comics’ most iconoclastic and hilarious characters. We kick things off in his inaugural Masterworks with his quirky first appearance as a “fowl out of water” alongside the macabre Man-Thing. Then it’s off to Cleveland where the Man-Frog and Hellcow lurk. The satirical stories continue with Howard and gal pal Beverly Switzler taking on dire threats such as the Space Turnip, the Beaver and — public transportation??!  And then: Howard runs for president! All restored in Masterworks glory!
