For over thirty years, the Marvel Masterworks line has collected some of the most seminal and iconic comic book stories in history, and in March 2021 Marvel will celebrate the milestone 300th volume by putting the spotlight on none other than Howard the Duck!
Steve Gerber and his artistic cohorts Val Mayerik, Frank Brunner and Gene Colan delivered one of comics’ most iconoclastic and hilarious characters when they created Howard the Duck. His inaugural Masterworks kicks off with his quirky first appearance as a “fowl out of water” alongside the macabre Man-Thing, where they team up to protect Cleveland from the Man-Frog and Hellcow. 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??! All this and more restored in Masterworks glory!
Marvel Masterworks: Howard the Duck Vol. 1 will go on sale in March 2021 and features material from Howard the Duck #1-14, Marvel Treasury Edition #12, Fear #19, Man-Thing #1, Giant Size Man-Thing #4-5 and Foom #15.
