Howard the Duck’s first quack would be a great name for a movie or a miniseries

[@expressoric]

"Howard the Duck" is a character and comic book that shows how anything can be serious and funny if handled by the most brilliant writers. It worked because Steve Gerber was aware of his craziness, rather than just writing something that was crazy. It was too "daft" not to become popular with a discerning audience that liked weird humour in more orthodox comic books, but wasn't commercial enough to appeal to a large comic book audience, so it had to be altered. I never read the magazine.

Definitely. One reason Gerber is a favorite of mine is that he can take the most off-the-wall concepts and make them work.

@@HobbyistFreePress Yes, he was a genius.
