Ever heard of Howard the Duck? Of course you have! It just so happens that today's guest, Val Mayerik, co-created that filthy foul way back in 1973 while working on Man-Thing stories for Marvel's Adventure into Fear comic. While Howard eventually took on a life of his own, Val continued with Man-Thing, a bunch of other supernatural books, and some jungle adventures with Ka-Zar. After forming Upstart Associates with Howard Chaykin, Walt Simonson, and Jim Starlin, he returned to Howard the Duck with a few issues of the comic book and the short lived comic strip. Val's also contributed art to several card games, including Magic: The Gathering, advertising storyboards, and a bunch of indie comics including Harvey Pekar's American Splendor. It's a weird and wild career, so listen up!
