A comic illustrative watercolor and ink drawing on paper depicting the character “Howard the Duck.” Signed “Frank Brunner” lower right and dated 1978. Howard the Duck is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Howard the Duck was created by writer Steve Gerber and penciler Val Mayerik in Adventure into Fear #19 (Dec. 1973) as a secondary character in that comic's "Man-Thing" feature. He graduated to his own backup feature in Giant-Size Man-Thing #4–5 (May and Aug. 1975), confronting such bizarre horror-parody characters as Garko the Man-Frog and Bessie the Hellcow, before acquiring his own comic book title with Howard the Duck #1 in 1976. Gerber wrote 27 issues of the series (for the most part ditching the horror parodies), illustrated by a variety of artists, beginning with Frank Brunner. This drawing is a unique item for comic animation enthusiasts and collectors. From a private collection. Dimensions: 19”h x 15”w x .75”d (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Frank Brunner (1949- ) is an American comics artist and illustrator best known for his work at Marvel Comics in the 1970s.

(preproduction Batman design) and DreamWorks (Invasion USA). He was the head of character design for the Fox animated series X-Men.
