Howard the Duck in The Sleigh-Jacking

December 25th, 2009 COMICS Ryan Brlecic

What follows is the time in which Howard fought an elf with a gun and did anything but save Christmas

Howard the Duck is a true “game changer” of a comic from the 1970′s. It lasted for longer than anyone would have guessed and was simply phenomenal. Steve Gerber was a true pioneer of modern comic books. Unfortunately Howard the Duck was canceled when Stan Lee finally read an issue and realized Marvel was publishing something he didn’t steal from Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko (I chide). For a brief period Gerber worked on Howard with original artist Val Mayerik as a newspaper strip. What follows is the time in which Howard fought an elf with a gun and did anything but save Christmas.
