Howard the Duck v2 #8 - Marshall Rogers art

Howard the Duck v2 #8

Howard the Duck v2 #8, 1980 - Howard the Duck takes on a Batman-like persona as "Duckman", a character that briefly appeared in the previous issue. Marshall Rogers reveals his quirky side without sacrificing artistry. Parodies of the Joker, Penguin, and Riddler make cameo appearances and seem intentionally reminiscent of Rogers' run on Detective Comics. Duckman’s debut on pages 38 and 39 is a dramatic entrance worthy of a typical superhero book, spanning the width of the spread. Interestingly, the issue also contains a Frank Miller ad for Daredevil #168. The art was first published as the cover to Comics Journal #58, making it Elektra's first appearance in promotional form. Other artists in this issue include Dave Sim, Gene Colan and Dave Simons. Cover by John Pound. This is 2 of 2 Howard the Duck v2 issues by Rogers.

Hi, the image used in this ad was used for the cover of Comics Journal #58 (which itself predates Daredevil #168 and makes it the 1st appearance of Elektra)
