There's another Howard the Duck comic without Steve Gerber.
Gerber put a lot of time, legal fees & heartbreak into trying to stop Marvel letting anyone else write Howard on the grounds that he is too personal of a character. If Ty Templeton really wanted to respect Howard and Steve, as he claims, he wouldn't be writing it.
He must know the background to this, surely. I mean, Jack Kirby himself drew the comic put together as a fundraiser for Gerber's lawsuit against Marvel. How could a professional comic book writer not know?
Horrible. Just awful. And the duck's new design is butt-ugly to boot - it looks closer to the movie version. Yuck.
