Annnnnd, we’re done.
HOWARD THE DUCK #11 is out today, the conclusion of my first-ever Marvel series(!). You know, ending it when we did seemed like a good idea at the time, but today it doesn’t feel that way.
I’m going to miss writing this book something fierce. There’s no greater joy than getting art back from Joe and seeing my stupid words brought to life. His characters completely exist in this world, so full of energy and quirks. Joe can capture any emotion seamlessly, even when the script falls short of defining them.
It felt like fate that we got to work together on this and I hope more than anything that it happens again really soon.
Thanks everyone for reading, and thanks to Steve Gerber for creating a character against all odds in a climate where it shouldn’t have worked, but did so amazingly. We tried to never imitate because we knew we’d come up short of your creation and run.
Howard, Tara, Aunt May, Scout, Spidey and Torch. I’ll miss those guys.
And Biggs? I’ll miss you most of all.
Love, Chip
This has nothing to do with Thor or Food or the combination there of, but if you enjoyed my silly type of humor, then you’ll enjoy Chip Zdarsky’s Howard the Duck.
