Howard the Duck (Vol. 1)

    (Marvel, 1976-1979, 1986)
Marvel

Howard the Duck is an extremely hip comic for the cynic in all of us. It stars Howard, a normal bachelor duck, living in an alternate reality in a dingy apartment. Through a quirk of fate, he winds up on Earth—and suffice to say, he’s not fitting in too well.

A cult favorite, Howard the Duck follows Howard’s adventures as he tries to cope with life in a world he never made. Menaced by moral authorities and hunted down by an audacious group of villains, Howard spends most of his days with a Bad Attitude. In one memorable issue, the curmudgeonly duck even winds up on trial for his attitude. In the crucial scene, he is presented with a partial glass of water and asked to identify it. When he replies that the glass is “half-empty” (instead of half-full), Howard seals his fate. All in all, Howard the Duck is hilarious humor for the chronic curmudgeon.
