Art features Howard the Duck and his occasional girlfriend Beverly Switzler scrambling on a huge typewriter, Howard springing to the attack against a pair of giant clawed hands. Large blank area at top for allotment of book title. These covers were inked by Tom Palmer, who would commonly use a lightbox to create the final inked version of many published covers in the 1970s.

Penciled title/issue number at top margin w/editorial notation along left margin. Bottom right has been signed by Gene Colan, who has added inscription. Artboard shows scattered handling wear w/some staining at upper left, but art remains clean and would display Exc. if matted and framed.
