2023 marks the 50th anniversary o🍌f the debut of Howard the Duck, and Marvel Comics is cel🦩ebrating the birthday of the foul-mouthed fowl with a one-shot that brings back his fan-favorite modern creative team of writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Joe Quinones along with a whole gang of other creators.

In the one-shot, simply titled Howard the Duck #1, Howard gets a look at some of the various paths his life could have taken courtesy of the Peeper (no word on whether there's any re🍸lation to Peepers, one of the weirdest mutants in Marvel lore). 

"Howard the Duck’s 50th anniversary one-shot will be a giant-sized spectacle that will reunite writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Joe Quinone꧑s, the sensational creative team behind Howard’s smash hit and critically acclaimed 2015 ongoing series," reads Marvel's official announcemenᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt. 

"Meet Howard. He’s a hard-boiled P.I. with problems by the duckload. But a cosmic, all-seeing friend(?) known as the Peeper(!) is giving him a chance to see what his life COULD be! The joys he COULD have! All the ways his life COULD suck way less than it does now! In other words: 'Whaugh If?'" it continues. "This collection of all-new tales will tackle all the different paths Howard could’ve taken during his offbeat adve🎐ntures, and pose fascinating questions for this furious fowl&r𓄧squo;s future!"

In the second announced story, video game designer Merritt K makes her Marvel Comics deb𒆙ut with artist Will Robson in which Howard becomes the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy - a fitting twist on his popular MCU cameos in♏ the Guardians movies.
