HOWARD THE DUCK

UNSOLICITED COMMENTARY: "Waaaaaugh." (1986) Marvel Studios surpassed 5 billion in ticket sales this weekend, so we're celebrating the one that contributed $12 dollars to the tally. "Howard The Duck" was the first super hero film Tim ever saw on the big screen. But, even bigger, it showed that 10 year-old the new-wave hairdo he was going to become.
