Smacky Duck

Hatched in the freewheeling pages of High Times Magazine back in 1979, Smacky Duck is a genuine Bronze Age oddity — a creation of Terre Richards that found its unlikely home not in the superhero mainstream but in one of the era's most countercultural publications. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare and curious figure, sharing those offbeat pages with the equally singular Danger Rangerette. Smacky Duck won't be found in any Big Two crossover event, and that's precisely the charm — a reminder that the Bronze Age was wonderfully weird at its fringes, and that Trans-High Corporation had a comic sensibility all its own.
