Howard the Duck #16

Sep 1977 · Marvel · 0.30 USD
“Welcome to the Island of Dr. Bong!”

In "Welcome to the Island of Dr. Bong!", Howard the Duck finds himself trapped in a bizarre, surreal nightmare where the Marvel Universe’s most absurd logic takes center stage. Written by Steve Gerber and brought to life with wild energy by Michael Netzer’s art, Terry Austin’s inks, and Doc Martin’s vivid colors, this 1977 issue delivers a surreal, offbeat adventure that’s as sharp as it is bizarre. The cover by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer captures the madness perfectly—perfect for a 30-cent comic in 1977 that dares to be unlike any other.
