Howard The Duck Celebrates His 50th Birthday With A Multiversal Adventure
by Tom Smithyman
Howard the Duck returns to local comic book stores this November, just in time to celebrate his 50th birthday with a wild adventure through Marvel’s multiverse.
Howard the Duck #1 will hit stands November 29, 2023, with a giant-sized issue to celebrate his half-century of irreverence. The issue reunites writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Joe Quinones, the creative team behind Howard’s 2015 ongoing series. It also features other creators showing the different paths Howard could have taken during his offbeat adventures.
Emmy-nominated writer and comedian Daniel Kibblesmith and artist Annie Wu put Howard in the Oval Office. Inspired by a classic tale from the 1970s, Howard the Duck has been sworn in as president. Readers will learn how gutsy the commander in chief is when the Earth is invaded by aliens.
And video game designer and writer Merritt K makes her Marvel Comics debut alongside artist Will Robson with a comedy that sees Howard the Duck leaving the chaos of Earth behind to take over as leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Playing Star-Lord is all fun and games for Howard until some of his most iconic classic villains band together to take him out once and for all.
