Another week and a new episode of the Comics Misremembered Podcast is created.  It is just me, Jim doing the podcast this week.  Jon will hopefully be joining us in some later podcasts but for the month of November, it will be me.

November is also my birthday month so I will be celebrating all month long with comics that are near and dear to me that we haven't covered yet.

Week 1 of the month long celebration, we are covering Howard the Duck (the 1970s run).

Howard the Duck was created by writer Steve Gerber and artist Val Mayerick on the pagers of Adventure into Fear featuring The Man-Thing #19 (Dec. 1973) published by Marvel Comics.

I started collecting comics in the early 80s.  I started with titles like ROM and Captain Carrot and the Amazing Zoo Crew (look - I was young, okay!).  The comic shop I was going to at the time had a back issue room and I discovered Howard the Duck!  These issue excited me because they were old (at least 10 years!) and I could buy large chunks for close to cover price.  I bought up the majority of the run there.  I thought the art was great and the stories were pretty funny too.
