Howard the Duck #17 features the origin of Dr. Bong, one of Howard's most memorable and enduring adversaries. Steve Gerber and Gene Colan continued blending satire, absurd humor, and social commentary into one of Marvel's most unique Bronze Age titles. This professionally graded CGC 9.8 White Pages example is tied for the Highest Graded on the CGC Census. As the first origin of Dr. Bong and one of the more recognizable issues in the series, this copy represents one of the premier registry-quality examples available to collectors.
