Formerly known by names including "Atlas" and "Timely", Marvel Entertainment is the publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Daredevil. Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company, Marvel is one of the "Big Two" comic publishers along with DC Comics.
Howard the Duck comics, published from 1976 to 1979, teem with potential for a stellar, irreverent, R-rated sci-fi/comedy film franchise. Lucas and co. managed to turn one of the smartest mainstream comics of its era into bumbling pablum intended to amuse only the most undiscerning children.
Would a PC Marvel publish a book that pokes a stick at social and political satire. Probably not.
Would Marvel Studios have the guts to hire Edgar Wright again and give him full creative control to make a Howard the Duck film??? One can only hope.
