Howard the Duck

Howard the Duck is a comic book character published by Marvel Comics, created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik in 1973. An anthropomorphic duck living in Cleveland, Ohio, Howard's original design bore similarities to Donald Duck, until threats of a lawsuit from The Walt Disney Company forced Marvel to change his design.
