Howard the Duck #30

Mar 1979 · Marvel · 0.35 USD
“If This Be Bongsday!”

In "If This Be Bongsday!", Howard the Duck finds himself in the middle of a bizarre showdown when Dr. Bong appears during a visit to Paul and Winda in the hospital. With Beverly scheming behind the scenes and Lee enlisting the unlikely help of Claude Starkowski—Iron Man’s eccentric cousin—Howard gets a suit of custom Iron Duck armor to take on the challenge. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Gene Colan’s dynamic art, with Al Milgrom’s inks and Michele Wolfman’s colors, this 1979 Marvel classic delivers a delightfully absurd twist on superhero tropes, all wrapped in a cover by Colan and Milgrom.
