Destroyer Duck was an anthology comic book published by Eclipse Comics in 1982, as well as the title of its primary story, written by Steve Gerber and featuring artwork by Jack Kirby and Alfredo Alcala.[1][2]
The book was published as a way to help Gerber raise funds for a lawsuit he was embroiled in at the time,[3] in which he was battling industry giant Marvel Comics over the ownership of the character Howard the Duck,[4] which Gerber created for the company in 1973.
