• THE SCOOP: Howard's co-creator returns to launch an outrageous new
beginning for a classic character!
• THE SET-UP: Scathing, timely, and even sexy, HOWARD THE DUCK was
one of the most acclaimed titles of the '70s, featuring biting social satire and
incisive characterization. Now MAX proudly presents the return of Howard and his
girlfriend Beverly - as written by their creator, Steve Gerber, and reproduced
from the pencil art of Phil Winslade (DAREDEVIL)!
• THE STORY: This is no nostalgia trip, True Believers! Just as the
original series dealt with the important matters of the day, the new HOWARD
tackles the big issues - starting with that scourge of the modern world: Boy
Bands! "Making the Band" is classic satire in the Gerber/Howard tradition -
with all the added creative freedom that the MAX line allows! Trapped on a world
he never made, Howard himself will be lucky to survive his encounter with the
corporate music world... unchanged! What do we mean by that? Just check out the
cover to the debut issue by painter Glenn Fabry!
• THE FORMAT: Each issue of this six-issue, monthly mini-series will
be 32 pages, with ads.
• THE WARNING: Contains explicit content. Recommended for Mature
Readers.
