 Omnibus in color (Essential in black and white) November 1, 2008

I purchased the Essential Howard the Duck and was bummed that the book ended before the story played out, and the art was black and white. So I ordered Howard The Duck Omnibus and got the whole story in color. If you want to read Howard The Duck, get the Omnibus.

This big fat book reprints most of the Howard the Duck comic books published in between 1973 and 1986. Notably missing are the stories from the Howard the Duck black and white magazine published from October 1979 to March 1981. The story of Howard the Duck concerns an anthropomorphic duck who ends up on our planet. He has trouble fitting in, of course, and has many misadventures. Howard's original writer, the late Steve Gerber, used Howard as an alter ego. Howard would rail against the things in society that irked Gerber. Pretty heavy stuff for a comic book, but it was done with a humorous touch and was frequently brilliant. The comic was fortunate enough to have several terrific artists work on it, with Gene Colon being the definitive Howard artist (Frank Brunner was great, too, but wasn't with the comic for very long). Alas, Gerber got into a dispute with Marvel Comics over the rights to Howard the Duck, and other people took over the writing of the comic. Some of these non-Gerber stories were downright awful. Still, they are here for the sake of completeness. I would recommend this book, but be perpared for the quality to drop near the end.
Wrong Cover, Great Comic August 17, 2008

I'm actually very irked by Amazon's cover. I'm sure its somewhat expected that some details are subject to change, but I was actually quite looking forward to this particular cover. The one they send out has Howard the Duck and his redhead assistant running for their lives, being chased by the Man Thing!!
Regardless of cover discrepencies, this is a great collection of political, insightful, unbiased observation of society. For those who haven't read much of Howard, try to think of him as Donald Duck with the personality of The Boondocks
