Howard the Duck constitutes a character that appears regularly in comic books created by Marvel Comics. Author Steve Gerber alongside illustrator Val Mayerik created the character through their realization of his college companion Howard Tockman. His adventures are often satirical and comedic, focusing on his misadventures in a human-dominated world. Howard's primary concerns are usually personal and trivial, rather than altruistic or world-saving. His ill-tempered and cynical nature, combined with his tendency to get into trouble rather than solve it, makes him more of an anti-hero or a comedic character than a conventional superhero.
