Notes
Trapped in a World He Never Made!
Slate‘s Keith Phipps sat through Howard the Duck and lived to be sad about it. “Howard the Duck, the movie, is as bad as you’ve heard.
Actually, it’s worse. But its failings as a film have overshadowed the
frequently brilliant 1970s comic book that inspired it.”
