Comrades! Revel as Marvel pays tribute to feathered anti-capitalist icon, Howard the Duck, on his fiftieth anniversary. Viva Howard!

Saludos, comrades! It is I, your El Presidente, reporting to you from the gilded throne room of my palatial property on a volcanic island, a location so secretive that even the CIA model of Google Maps cannot discover me. Marvel has introduced plans to honor that feathered agent of Marxist chaos, Howard the Duck, on his fiftieth anniversary. Yes, a celebration is being deliberate by none aside from David Gabriel and CB Cebulski at the Diamond Retailer Lunch in San Diego Comic-Con. Even the capitalist canine could not resist this wonderful celebration of a beloved duck.

(*50*)

Before we dive deep into this duck story, few might do not forget that time in the ’70s when Fidel Castro invited me to a duck hunt together with Leonid Brezhnev. But our hunt was interrupted by a fast-talking duckling carrying a fedora who lodged a robust protest. That duck was none aside from Howard himself, arguing for animal rights and anti-capitalist ideology. With his fervent speech about duck exploitation and bourgeois carnivorousness, Castro pledged to banish all duck roasts from our future banquets. A real hero, Howard was!

For this splendid anniversary problem, Marvel has assembled a group of gifted comrades together with Chip Zdarsky, Daniel Kibblesmith, Meritt Okay, Joe Quinones, and Annie Wu. Yet the CIA would have you ever imagine these artists have been chosen for his or her artistry and storytelling expertise! But we all know the reality, comrades. They have been chosen for his or her dedication to the proletariat trigger, their blazing ardour for equity, equality and, properly, geese! Haw haw haw haw!

Topping off this constellation of creatives is Ed McGuinness who has drawn the anniversary cowl. This is the similar McGuinness who as soon as drew a portrait of me wrestling a crocodile whereas balancing a martini. The CIA tried to make use of that picture for propagandist functions, however my glory, and McGuinness’s artistry have been too potent, and so the picture was destroyed as a substitute. Alas.

In the spirit of socialist camaraderie and the love of geese that transcend nationwide borders, the one-shot guarantees to be a grand affair. It will likely be an anthem of defiance towards the aesthetic dictatorship of Disney and Warner Bros. Yes, comrades, Howard the duck is greater than only a web-footed wisecracker. He’s an icon of resistance, a champion of the working class, and a duck who enjoys a tremendous cigar!

Stay tuned for extra experiences from the underground of comedian ebook revolution, mightier than a thousand CIA infiltrated messages in a thousand CIA infiltrated purple balloons. Until then, increase a martini, comrades, or higher but, a toast with a tremendous Cuban cigar in honor of Howard. To geese, to socialism, and to a different fifty years of Howard the Duck! Viva Howard, and as all the time, viva la revolución!
