Episode 23: Why Howard the Duck Was the Silver Surfer of the '70s

from Why Not Say What Happened? · host Scott Edelman

Join me for a rambling panel about Howard the Duck in which I share the Marvel Comics chaos which caused me to be hired there in 1974, my regrets over having written an issue of Omega the Unknown, my ethical queasiness about owning original art, what it means when I say I knew Stan Lee before he had hair, my terrifying Bullpen encounters with "Jumbo" John Verpoorten, what Howard the Duck has in common with the Silver Surfer, my Times Square street theater with Steve Gerber, the time Howard the Duck had to be hatched instead of laid, how immaturity cost me Captain Marvel, the only time I ever saw Stan Lee get flustered, and more.
