	Howard the Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Howard's adventures are generally parodies of science fiction and fantasy, written in a tongue-in-cheek style and combined with a degree of metafictional awareness of the limitations of the medium, often very experimental for a non-underground comic.
		Howard has an irritable and cynical attitude to the often bizarre events around him; he feels there is nothing special about him except that he is a duck, and though has no goals but comfort and to be left alone, he is often dragged into dangerous adventures simply because he is visibly unusual.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Howard the Duck
		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.
		Such was Howard's success that his creator, writer Steve Gerber (who had come up with him, he later claimed, only because he needed a visual to top a barbarian emerging from peanut butter, which he'd already used) sued Marvel Comics for him.
		Howard's regular comic book lasted until 1979, then the character, whose adventures had taken a somewhat adult turn, was moved out into a fl and white magazine, and that extended his run another two years.

		Back at the tower, Howard comes to only to discover he is now a captive along with the scantily clad woman AND that his clothes have been replaced by a pair of furry Conan shorts, a necklace, a sword in scabbard and a horned Viking helmet.
		Since Howard has broken every bone in the body of Pro-Rata's "hired barbarian" and since it was that very barbarian who was originally going to take a dimensional portal to retrieve the jeweled key, it is only fitting that Howard be forced to take his place.
		Howard wishes he had a cigar to chomp on to help his thought processes and Beverly tells him she put one in his scabbard when she dressed him in his barbarian outfit.

	The Friday Review: The Essential Howard The Duck
		HOWARD THE DUCK is almost more famous as a symbol of the comic industry's faults than as an actual comic.
		The plot of a HOWARD THE DUCK story was often second to the tale's satirical drive.
		HOWARD THE DUCK is a book that is at once both sillier and more serious than its title suggests, one that finally has a chance to be discovered by a new generation.

	Review: "The Essential Howard The Duck" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Howard, a dead ringer for Donald, comes from an alien dimension where everybody is a talking duck.
		Howard, as the writers avatar, is pretty much omni-competent, seeing through every advertising quack and crank in a couple of panels.) Gerber seems to think that simply saying 'A duck stood for president' is funny and satirical.
		Howard's universe becomes such that superheroes are taken for granted and the whole feels rather like a collection of emblematic sideshow floats.

	Howard the Duck
		Howard was dislodged from his home dimension and dropped into the middle of the Florida Everglades on our Earth at the site of this world's Nexus of All Realities, a place from which travel to all other dimensions is said to be possible.
		Although Howard has attempted to live as normal a life as possible, considering that he is a talking duck on a world of human beings, he has continually run afoul, so to speak, of various unusual menaces, most notably his arch nemesis Doctor Bong.
		However the general populace refuses to believe that Howard is a real talking duck, thinking of him instead as a dwarf in a duck suit, and the public dismissed his candidacy as a joke.

	Howard the Duck
		Howard the Duck is one of movie history's biggest flops.
		Anyway, Howard T. Duck (I guess his middle name is "The") walks into his apartment, turns on the TV and takes out the centerfold for Playduck.
		Howard the Duck is easily available to the public, and I hope that children won't look at the box and be misled into thinking that it's wholesome, family entertainment.

	Black Talon (Howard the Duck foe)
		Howard was assisted in tracking down the Black Talon with the aid of Mammy Tuba, who also briefly enhanced his magical powers, and he arrived just in time to stop the sacrifice.
		Howard rushed to the altar to free Beverly, but the Talon called upon the great Duck Deity to reanimate the people who had died in the swamp, thus calling forth zuvembies (zombies) to stop Howard.
		Ducks would not be hunted as consistently as they are hunted for food if they were protected by a certain deity.

	Movie Review: Howard the Duck, Really That Fowl?
		Howard was run out of theaters in a flash, mocked as only a legend like the name "Lucas" could inspire.
		Howard appears to save the day, and thus begins one of the strangest love stories in movie history.
		What little plot there is involves Howard's determination to get zapped back home, but the movie seems more interested in a series of sketches aimed at cramming as many duck jokes in as possible.

		Howard, played by a special effect puppet, lives on a planet where ducks evolved instead of apes, but one day he's sucked into a vortex and deposited on Earth.
		Steve Gerber's original Howard the Duck comics were a classic mockery of the '70s, from jabs at religious cults to Howard's run for president in 1976 and even an issue almost entirely in text because of deadlines.
		Howard the Duck is a great movie from the greatest decade of the 20th Century.

		Howard the Duck was born on an unknown planet in an unknown universe, and lived a fairly average life until a disturbance in the Nexus of Realities caused Howard to be torn from his home and deposited into the swamp of the Man-Thing, along with a warrior named Korrek.
		Howard did not want to give the key to the obviously unbalanced Pro-Rata, and was more than willing to give his life to keep it from him.
		Howard's life was confusing for a bit after that point, including a period including adventues which may not have happened.

	Howard the Duck (1986) aka Howard ... A New Breed of Hero
		Plot: On a planet where ducks have evolved a parallel culture to our own, a duck named Howard is plucked out of his apartment, whisked through space to Earth and deposited in a back alley in Cleveland.
		Howard was a duck with an aggressive temperament and a sarcastic motor-mouth and each of Gerber's strips was a satirical masterpiece as the improbable character of a bad-tempered talking duck took on all manner of threats in perfect deadpan.
		In the film Howard is a watered-down shadow of his two-dimensional self, criminally missing in any of his sarcastic temperament and snappy one-liners.

		Howard the Duck in real life is a comic book produced by Marvel Comics that first appeared in the 1970s.
		Howard the Duck was written by Steve Gerber at the height of his powers.
		Howard the Duck is no exception, and in addition to all of the above, you'll find a weird, penetrating and possibly disturbing take on the decadence of modern society, pop psychology, religion and a lot of other issues not usually addressed in the comics.

	SteveGerber.com - MAD GENIUS, ANGRY FOWL? - Diamond.com
		The title character was no super-hero; he was just a cantankerous little guy named Howard who was, in the words of his creator, "the living embodiment of all that is querulous, opinionated, and uncool"and happened to hail from an alternate Earth populated by "funny" cartoon animals.
		HTD lasted only a few more issues as a color comic, and was finally cancelled altogether after a short fl-and-white magazine stint.
		Back in the '70s, Howard was a nasty little guy with a generally miserable attitude toward life, a caustic view of humanity and the world, and a beak full of opinions that he expressed whether anybody wanted to hear them or not.

		"Howard" was a critical and financial failure that deep-sixed the careers of Huyck and Katz and led to the cancellation of the duck's magazine.
		Howard is brought to Cleveland, Ohio when an experimental laser beam opens an interdimensional portal.
		The "Howard the Duck" movie could have either toned down the more adult situations to create a family-friendly action-comedy, or gone straight for ribald satire and gotten an "R" rating.

	Howard the Duck
		Howard the Duck, in its peak years from 1975-1978, was the best newsstand Big Two comic book of the '70s (the Big Two being Marvel and DC).
		As scripted by Marvel madman Steve Gerber, Howard was a satirical vehicle with which to puncture the excesses of an excessive era.
		The last third of Howard the Duck is an orgy of ILM effects, some of them halfway decent (Phil Tippett designed a fairly cool monster for the climax), some as cheesy as the duck suits.

		As Gerber never defined where Howard cane from, Marvel had some crazy explanation that a cosmic phenomena somehow sent him to Earth from his home planet...a planet that is just like Earth only its populated by anthropomorphic ducks.
		Jenning tells Howard they may be able to reverse the effect and send him home, but they have to do it tonight while the planets are in alignment.
		Howard is a Duck, we never find out where he came from and he's an individual in a world that views him as different, a world that his very presence satirizes.

	Review for Howard the Duck
		Constantly forced to defend himself from the evolved apes occupying Ohio's premiere city, Howard resorts to "Quack-Fu" or biting sarcasm.
		The number of visual duck puns is astounding, Howard reads "Playduck" and carries a "Mallardcard" in his wallet.
		Jenning cracked me up during his possessed phase, one minute he's exclaiming in a dark voice, "This will mean the extinction of all existing life forms." and the next he's sad because the waitress took his ham and eggs.

	The Movie
		What this really boils down to is that they cheaped out on the look of Howard and used a little person in a duck suit, and when all is said and done it looks very much like a little person in a duck suit.
		I think that in itself was the death of the film, since the storyline was pretty dead on as far as character and the other effects were pretty good.
		Badmovies.org has some.wav files from the movie including a sample of the Howard The Duck theme as well as some still pictures and some mpeg video files.

		But Lea Thompson as the rock musician who takes Howard under her wing is kinda neat, and her band has some likeable New Wave tunes, courtesy of Thomas Dolby.
		But then I would have missed the most unintentionally hilarious line: a woman looks at Howard's face and blurts out, "It's so lifelike and realistic!" Watching all the way to the end was the most masochistic viewing experience I've inflicted on myself in years.
		Even with Jones around, the guy who does Howard's voice is so godawful, so ear-gratingly painful and repulsive to hear, that any otherwise engaging scene is spoiled the instant his beak opens.
