This is Steve Gurber's baby. Steve Gurber created Howard the Duck and ran with him. This trade collects Howard the Duck's first appearances.
And the weak, cheesy movie this is not. Gurber's writing is adult in nature, but filled with satire, parody and humor. It takes a stab at politics and current events (in the 70's), and at times, it's odd and weird (mutated frogs, and cows bitten by Dracula who then become vampires!).
This is a great cheap collection. If you love talking ducks, you'll love this trade.
