Howard the Duck
Howard the Duck is a Marvel Comics character—an anthropomorphic duck from another dimension trapped on Earth.
Created in 1973, he became a cult favorite for his sardonic wit and absurdist adventures.
The 1986 film adaptation is remembered as a notorious box-office disaster: Howard the Duck was one of the worst movies of the decade.
