For those who don't know, Steve Gerber was a prolific comic book writer since the 70's, and was the man probably most responsible for my creating Dead Duck. His own creation, "Howard The Duck," really grabbed me back in 1986 when I was twelve and read the Marvel Comic books he wrote, and inspired me to create several of my own duck characters, ending with my best at age 14, Dead Duck himself. Though our concepts are radically different, if it wasn't for his work, I don't know if I ever would have become as "duck crazy" as I did. Having just read of his death a day ago, I felt I needed to pay tribute in some small way.

A very sweet tribute. May he rest in peace.

Yup, I don't care what ANYBODY says, Howard the Duck is one of the toughest characters in the entire Marvel universe, surviving not on sheer power and dumb luck, but on intelligence and cunning. In a way, he was Deadpool before Deadpool was Deadpool!

I just purchased the recently released "Howard the Duck" DVD and decided to look him on on here.
I am sad to hear of Steve's passing, but your tribute is VERY touching.

I've never read anything by Steve Gerber, R.I.P, maybe I should.
This reminds me of a particular image of Bone that features Thorn walking while holding hans with Fone and Phoney, did you get inspired by it?
