Marvel Masterworks #300

Plot

Reprints: Howard the Duck #1-14, Marvel Treasury Edition #12; material from Fear #19, Man-Thing #1, Giant-Size Man-Thing #4-5

Trapped in a Masterworks he never made! There were several worthy candidates for the milestone 300th Masterworks edition, but only one waddled away with election victory: Howard the Duck! In Howard, Steve Gerber and his artistic cohorts Val Mayerik, Frank Brunner and Gene Colan delivered one of comics’ most iconoclastic and hilarious characters. We kick things off in his inaugural Masterworks with his quirky first appearance as a “fowl out of water” alongside the macabre Man-Thing. Then it’s off to Cleveland where the Man-Frog and Hellcow lurk. The satirical stories continue with Howard and gal pal Beverly Switzler taking on dire threats such as the Space Turnip, the Beaver and — public transportation??! And then: Howard runs for president! All restored in Masterworks glory!
