Comic Strip Details
Characters: The strip features Howard the Duck, Beverly Switzler, and the villain known as the Clone Ranger.
Creators: It was written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by Alan Kupperberg.
Context: The Clone Ranger is a mediocre individual who believes that the "mediocre majority" are the ones who deserve to rule, in contrast to the "brains and superiors" he blames for the world's problems. He intends to clone others like himself to achieve this goal.
Publication History: The Howard the Duck newspaper strip was a short-lived endeavor that ran from 1977 to 1978, facing low distribution before its cancellation. Marv Wolfman and Alan Kupperberg took over writing and art duties, respectively, after the original creative team of Steve Gerber and Gene Colan left due to creative control issues. |
