Howard The Duck
Howard the Duck's regular comic book lasted until 1979, then the character, whose adventures had taken a somewhat adult turn, was moved out into a black and white magazine, and that extended his run another two years. For an in-story explanation of the new look, Gerber had Howard sued for public indecency by a guy named Wally Sidney. That one didn't go away until Howard started wearing pants, to distance himself from Disney's foul-tempered fowl. Disney threatened to sue Marvel too, alleging that Howard was too close a copy of Donald Duck. Destroyer Duck, published by Eclipse as a benefit comic for Gerber's end of the lawsuit, contained the first appearance of Groo the Wanderer. Gerber claimed his contract didn't give them sole ownership of ancillary characters he created for their stories.
Such was Howard's success that his creator, writer Steve Gerber sued Marvel Comics for him. He'd only been in two issues before the title was cancelled. Howard's walk-on drew unexpectedly enthusiastic response, so he was brought back. He got that way by accidentally slipping through a dimensional warp in the 19th issue of Fear , where The Man-Thing had been doing such things on a more-or-less continual basis. Howard is just like most cartoon ducks beak, feathers, waddling gait, four-fingered hands at the end of his arm-like wings but he lives in a world of superheroes instead of funny animals.
Howard the Duck bounds into action. Nostalgia is a funny thing. This duck is probably the most unlikable, bland and generic character I ever seen. Did kids actually enjoyed this movie. You have no idea how strangely excited I was for this review and you more than lived up to my expectations. My friend and I never bothered to continue watching the rest of the movie as soon as creepy exorcist hadouken guy came on. Life really IS like a hurricane. This review topped it off.
The comic is actually quite good though. Gonna watch it again after class tomorrow. But seriously that was awful. But hey not everything was bad. Earth was that abomination you reviewed. And for people who still complain over the inocuous kiss between Lacey Chabert and Sonic the Hedgehog, I give you this, Lea Thompson and a Duck as a worse example of unsettling interspecies love. This stinker and his paltry imitation of poultry shoulda killed is career before it even got off the ground. Maybe because I have to see the evidence firsthand that Lucas is capable of planting a picture in our heads that is worse than Jar Jar.
