*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: In the middle of a convoluted cross-dimensional saga such as Steve Gerber, writer of Man-Thing, was fond of, everyone’s second favourite shambling muck monster met a few guest stars from other worlds. One such was Howard the Duck, an irascible humanoid fowl from a plane where anthropomorphic animals were the highest life form. This walk-on character, doubtless intended as a one-off joke at the expense of Disney, was so avidly welcomed by readers that he was brought back from seeming destruction to star in his own acclaimed and award-winning satirical series – which got its accidental springboard in this very issue!
