Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1977, Howard the Duck #9 serves as a notable entry in the satirical series created by Steve Gerber. The issue is well-regarded for its meta-commentary, featuring Howard running for President of the United States. This arc was designed to mirror the actual 1976 presidential election, using the absurdity of a cynical, anthropomorphic duck to critique the political landscape of the era.
The interior artwork was provided by Gene Colan, whose atmospheric and grounded style provided a stark, effective contrast to the surreal, often biting humor of Gerber’s writing. The cover, illustrated by Frank Brunner, highlights the character's reluctant role as a political figure. Upon its release, the issue was received as a bold, subversive statement, reinforcing the series' reputation as an experimental departure from traditional superhero tropes within the Marvel catalog.
