Did Gerber know Bob Greene? He was a local Chicago journalist who basically got
into the field after journalism school by covering student protests and then
did a syndicated general column for a while - I just filed a clipping I have of
him interviewing the guy who was in the Kong suit for the 1930's movie.
That run of Howard is in my sale boxes cheap - I may just pull it and read it.
Not a great fan of Howard the Duck- something I liked years ago and have lost
interest in

Gene in January, Day Four:
Howard The Duck #15, page 9 by Gene Colan and Klaus Janson

It took Steve Gerber fifteen issues before he got around to the duck a l'orange
"gag". It took me fifteen years between finding the first page 8 in this
sequence, and reuniting it with it's sibling, page 9, added today . Check out
the two page scene in additional images for the whole bit.
Howard The Duck #15 begins the Dr. Bong arc. Created by Steve Gerber and Marie
Severin, Dr. Bong's personality was loosely based on journalist Bob Greene.
Waaaughh!
