Marvel Comics' favorite ill-tempered waterfowl may have difficulty finding paying paying clients for his private dick gig. But when it comes to lining up superstar artists to illustrate covers for his latest ongoing series, Howard may as well be called "Mr. Popularity."

Ed McGuinness is the latest to lend his name and artistic skills to the new "Howard the Duck" series, and CBR News has the exclusive debut of the legendary creator's variant. Colored by Rico Renzi, the cover will appear on July's Issue #4, from the regular creative team of writer Chip Zdarsky and and artist Joe Quinones.

Check out McGuinness' cover and the full solicitation text for the issue below.
