This is an AUTHENTIC HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL Vintage 8"x 10" color photo of the 2 main cast members in the film "HOWARD THE DUCK" featuring the autographs by Ed Gale and Lea Thompson. Howard the Duck is a 1986 American science fiction comedy film directed by Willard Huyck and starring Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, and Tim Robbins. Based on the Marvel comic book of the same name, the film was produced by Gloria Katz and written by Huyck and Katz, with George Lucas as executive producer. The screenplay was originally intended to be an animated film, but the film adaptation became live-action because of a contractual obligation. Although several TV adaptations of Marvel characters had aired during the preceding 21 years, this was the first theatrically released feature film, coming after the serial Captain America.

Lucas proposed adapting the comic book following the production of American Graffiti (1973). After multiple production difficulties and mixed response to test screenings, Howard the Duck was released in theaters on August 1, 1986. Upon its release, the film was a critical and commercial failure, and was criticized for its humor, performances, inconsistent tone, and the appearance of the title character, though the effects and soundtrack were mostly praised. In the years since, it has been considered among the worst films of all time although it has later became popular among audience and gained a cult following through home video releases. It was nominated for seven Razzie Awards (winning four), and made about US$15 million domestically compared to its US$37 million budget, making the film a box office bomb.
