Val Mayerik
Val Mayerik is a Bronze Age artist best known for his work on Man-Thing, Howard the Duck, and Marvel's black-and-white magazines, where his detailed, expressive drawing became closely associated with 1970s horror and satire. His name is often linked to early Howard the Duck material and other Bronze Age Marvel books that serve as reference points for collectors focused on first appearances, magazine-era experimentation, and creator-driven visual identity.
