History: (Howard the Duck: A Walk Back in Time Sticker Book) - Upon arriving on Earth, Howard the Duck made his way to a nearby rock club, where he met Beverly Switzer. Beverly took Howard to the Museum of Natural History, where Howard was studied by Beverly's friend Phil and he gave a rundown on his long family line spanning centuries of famous ducks on Duck World. Remarking on his ancestors, Howard mentioned his great-great-great-great-grandfather Cave Duck, his cousins Peking Duck and Sir Francis Drake, Peter Stuyvesantduck, President Mallard J. Fillmore, Wild Bill, his horse jockey relative who rode at Aqua-Duck Raceway, his astronaut uncle and musician Leonard Birdstein, impressing both Phil and Beverly.




Comments: Created by Nancy Leigh Brown and Dean Yeagle.

The Howard the Duck: A Walk Back in Time sticker book mostly fits into the continuity of Earth-58472, the Howard the Duck comic book movie adaptation, although Howard was drawn more like his typical Earth-616 comic counterpart than his actual movie counterpart. Beverly Switzler, however, was definitely drawn to resemble her Earth-616 comic counterpart (as seen to the right) but she works in the rock music business like her movie counterpart. Perhaps this was simply artistic license or something...?

This sticker book's reality was not confirmed in the book but the credits do say "Written by Nancy Leigh Brown, based on the screenplay 'Howard the Duck' by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz," suggesting that the sticker book has to fit into one of the movie-like realities (the comic adaptation on Earth-58472 and the movie reality itself on Earth-58470). As stated above, the reality it seems to fit the best into would be Earth-58472.

It is unrevealed if Earth-616's Howard the Duck has these same relatives....
