\n

The fifty-year-old comic book we\u2019re discussing today is something of a strange duck (sorry), in that while the bulk of it is devoted to the beginning of a new storyline concerning the titular character\u2019s campaign for President of the United States, the first five of its seventeen pages \u2014 as well as the Gene Colan-Tom Palmer cover shown above \u2014 are given over to the wrap-up of a story mostly told, but not quite finished, in the previous issue.\u00a0 So we\u2019re going to need to take a look at Howard the Duc<\/em>k #6 before we look at #7.\u00a0 And since the last issue we covered before this was #4<\/a>, back in April\u2026 and since #5 sets up #6 pretty directly\u2026 we\u2019re going to need to at least quickly summarize the events of the former issue\u2019s \u201cI Want Mo-o-oney!\u201d before we even do that<\/em>.\u00a0 All clear?\u00a0 Great!\u00a0 So let\u2019s begin.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

As the story\u2019s title\u2019s callback to Barrett Strong\u2019s 1959 hit single<\/a> indicates, HtD<\/em> #5 is all about the quest for the lean green.\u00a0 Howard\u2019s roommate Beverly Switzler\u2019s occasional gig posing for a life-drawing class isn\u2019t enough to make ends meet, so our feathered hero goes looking for work.\u00a0 Neither his first attempt (serving as the pie-in-the-face foil to to a clown on a children\u2019s TV show) or second (acting as the bill collector\/repossessor for an appliance store) pan out, but our hero thinks he\u2019s hit paydirt when he sees an ad promising $10K to \u201cany man who can last three rounds with wrestling champion Emile \u201cthe Goat\u201d Klout\u201d.\u00a0 Beverly is profoundly skeptical, but Howard is confident about his chances; what\u2019s more, he figures that with that much cash, they can not only meet their current financial obligations, but can clear clean out of Cleveland, which he opines is \u201ctoo small-time<\/strong>\u201d for the two of them.<\/p>\n

And as it turns out, Howard\u2019s confidence is not misplaced \u2014 if only thanks to his mastery of \u201cquak-fu<\/strong>\u201c<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The regular creative team of writer Steve Gerber and artists Gene Colan and Steve Leialoha pick up their narrative in Howard the Duck<\/em> #6, the cover of which strongly suggests, in both its imagery and its copy, that we\u2019re heading into Gothic fiction genre territory.\u00a0 That\u2019s an impression that\u2019s quickly reinforced by the story\u2019s actual, official title (as presented on the opening splash page), \u201cThe Secret House of Forbidden Cookies!\u201d \u2014 an obvious play on the names of a couple of Gothic romance titles DC Comics had experimented with earlier in the decade, i.e., The Dark Mansion Of Forbidden Love<\/i><\/em> and The<\/em> Sinister House of Secret Love<\/i>\u2026 names which had of course themselves been inspired by those of myriad paperback novels of the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

As the story begins, it\u2019s a dark and stormy night in Pennsylvania mountain country, where a motorist, suddenly startled by the sight of a couple of unusual-looking hitchhikers standing on the side of the road, responds rather less than responsibly.\u00a0 (OK, so only one<\/em> of the pair is actually unusual-looking, and that one is the\u2026)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For anyone who might be too young to recall \u2019em, virtually every Gothic romance paperback of the early \u201970s featured a cover scene<\/a> depicting a lone young woman framed against a dark, brooding mansion, usually on a hill, with a single light gleaming from an upstairs window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rev. Sun Myung Moon (1920-2012)<\/a>, as well as the Unification Church he founded (the members of which were popularly known as \u201cMoonies\u201d), became well-known in the U.S. in the early-to-mid-Seventies thanks to such factors as Moon\u2019s fervent support for Pres. Richard M. Nixon in the midst of the Watergate scandal, and the mass wedding ceremonies in which multitudes of couples were simultaneously united in holy matrimony.\u00a0 Often described as a cult leader, Moon \u2014 and his movement \u2014 were unquestionably legitimate subjects for satire in 1976; that said, from the perspective of half a century later, it\u2019s hard not to wish that Steve Gerber had resisted the urge to utilize the Reverend\u2019s \u201cforeign\u201d name as the basis for comedy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That last panel allows Gerber the opportunity to reference not one, or even two, but a whole three<\/em> classic works of Gothic fiction on a single business card: Nathaniel Hawthorne\u2019s The House of the Seven Gables<\/em> (1851)<\/a>, Emily Bront\u00eb\u2019s Wuthering Heights<\/em> (1847)<\/a> (whence comes the name \u201cHeathcliff\u201d) and Emily\u2019s sister Charlotte\u2019s Jane Eyre<\/em> (1847)<\/a> (ditto for \u201cRochester\u201d).<\/p>\n

However he\u2019s come by his name, real estate broker\/lifestyle consultant Heathcliff Rochester is eager to make a deal regarding the Dragonworth property \u2014 but time is of the essence, he tells Howard.\u00a0 \u201cThe townspeople are up in arms<\/strong> about having your\u2026 unconventional religious<\/strong> cult at such close proximity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Patsy assures Beverly that this is nothing unusual: \u201cThis happens once a week like clockwork.\u201d\u00a0 Nor is there any cause for alarm: \u201cHeathcliff<\/strong> will drive them away\u2026 with the hounds<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLove is strange<\/strong>,\u201d says Howard, and who among us would disagree?\u00a0 Maybe these two crazy kids will make it work.\u00a0 (By the way, I\u2019m pretty sure this is the most direct confirmation we\u2019ve had yet that Howard and Bev are in fact more than \u201cjust good friends\u201d, however strongly it\u2019s been implied, both verbally and visually, up until now.)<\/p>\n

Following Bev into the house, Howard makes the acquaintance of both Patsy and her mother, and then\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up until this point, our storytellers have been riffing primarily on the tropes of Gothic romance<\/em>, but we\u2019ve now taken a decided turn towards the Gothic horror<\/em> typified by Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein<\/em> (1818)<\/a> \u2014 although all of this electrical equipment actually hearkens more to the 1931 film version<\/a> and its numerous successors than it does the original novel (as did the earlier attack by the townspeople, for that matter).\u00a0 Of course, this milieu was very familiar ground for artist Gene Colan, who\u2019d been drawing Marvel\u2019s Tomb of Dracula<\/em> title since its inception five years before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And now, finally, we\u2019ve arrived at issue #7 \u2014 which, we should note, was the very first issue of Howard the Duck<\/em> to arrive on stands just one month following its predecessor, as the ever-more-popular title got a bump up from its original bi-monthly publishing schedule:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beverly and Howard attempt to depart the lab the same way they arrived \u2014 but, alas, the door is locked.\u00a0 (Yes, they\u2019d already tried that at the end of issue #6, but Steve Gerber apparently forgot he\u2019d written that line, so we will too.)\u00a0 Along with the others, they\u2019re trapped inside with what may well be the world\u2019s first carnivorous gingerbread man\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s that \u2014 five pages into the continuation of last issue\u2019s story, it\u2019s over and done.\u00a0 While blowing up everything (and, with the exception of our two series regulars, everyone<\/em>) certainly makes for a spectacular finale, I dare say that, considering how many characters and concepts Steve Gerber had endeavored to squeeze into the preceding chapter, this resolution feels pretty darn anticlimactic.<\/p>\n

I suppose that Gerber may have simply tired of sending up Gothic genre tropes and wanted to wrap things up quickly; on the other hand, I think it\u2019s possible that there was some confusion involved with HtD<\/em>\u2018s changeover to a monthly publication schedule.\u00a0 Perhaps the author originally thought that the new frequency was starting with issue #6, rather than with #7, and that he\u2019d thus have a whole second issue to complete the \u201cForbidden Cookies\u201d storyline before proceeding to the \u201c2nd big laff riot\u201d referred to in #6\u2019s \u201cnext\u201d blurb as \u201cThe Manchurian Duck \u2014 Part One!\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t suppose we\u2019ll ever know for sure, either way\u2026 though, just for the record, this sequence did indeed write finis<\/em> to Patsy, her deranged mom, her cookie creature, and Mr. Rochester; at least, they haven\u2019t shown up again in the last half-century.\u00a0 (Rev. Yuc and his Yucchies, on the other hand, would return.)<\/p>\n

And now, back to our book:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To the best of my knowledge, the flamboyant Mr. Dreyfuss Gultch isn\u2019t based on any real country music star (I could be wrong, though).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Say what you will about that last panel, but if nothing else, it was fairly daring territory for a Comics Code Authority-approved color comic book in 1976.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once they arrive at the All-Night Party\u2019s convention site, Madison Square Garden, Bev and Howard part ways so they can report in to their respective management offices: she to Hospitality, he to Security:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doing as he\u2019s been told, Howard begins to amble around aimlessly \u2014 but, almost immediately, he hears a scream coming from beyond a closed door.\u00a0 When he bursts in, he finds he\u2019s interrupted nothing more serious than a particularly contentious committee meeting; still, despite order having already been restored, Howard decides to hang around for a minute or two\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once their shifts are over, Howard and Beverly return to their hotel room, where they discover another note has been slipped under the door in their absence.\u00a0 \u201cOboy,\u201d says Howard, \u201cthe Prairie Troubadour must\u2019a have stopped by again<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Having observed this last exchange, Dreyfuss Gulch approaches Howard to tell him he likes his style, and then invites him to join him and \u201csome o\u2019 the party bigwigs<\/strong>\u201d for a night out on the town.\u00a0 Figuring he could use a little distraction, and not having any other plans for the evening, Howard accepts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Recognize the curly-haired dude in the foreground of that last panel?\u00a0 Yeah, that\u2019s the same hotel bellhop\/nightclub waiter who was clearly responsible for delivering all of those cryptic notes to Howard and Beverly over the last ten pages or so.\u00a0 Anybody want to bet that we\u2019ve seen the last of him?\u00a0 Nah, I didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

Still, that\u2019s a mystery to be taken up next month, in Howard the Duck<\/em> #8.\u00a0 For now, it\u2019ll have to be enough that the series\u2019 storyline has finally caught up with the \u201creality\u201d of Howard\u2019s Presidential campaign \u2014 which, you may recall, has been a thing ever since it was launched in the letters column of issue #4, a whole five months ago.\u00a0 Ever since then, Steve Gerber has been providing monthly updates (and, yes, hawking campaign merchandise) in the HtD<\/em> lettercols \u2014 all the way up to the present month of September, 1976, that is, when it\u2019s spilled over into the letters pages of Marvel\u2019s other books, with new updates appearing weekly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also showing up in or around September: FOOM<\/em> #15 \u2014 an \u201cExtra=Special Campaign Issue!\u201d of Marvel\u2019s in-house fanzine, featuring a classic wraparound cover by Gene Colan and Steve Leialoha that proves that, regardless of who else in the Marvel Universe might deign to vote for Howard the Duck, he\u2019s already got the solid support of his fellow stogie-smoking characters:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(For the record, Wolverine\u2019s fondness for cigars wouldn\u2019t be established<\/a> for another few years yet.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Anyway, that\u2019s it for September\u2019s duck-tivities.\u00a0 As already noted, our favorite talking fowl\u2019s quixotic quest for the nation\u2019s highest office will be kicking into high gear next month, in Howard the Duck<\/em> #8 \u2014 and we will of course be here to bring you full coverage from the campaign trail.\u00a0 But before getting to that one, we \u2014 along with Howard and Beverly \u2014 will be taking a slight detour to a certain Sanctum Sanctorum in New York\u2019s Greenwich Village.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019ll join us for \u201cThe Duck and the Defenders\u201d, coming your way just two weeks from now.<\/p>\n
