Comments: Created by Jim Newsome.

    Duckey Crockett appears in a single panel with the name "Duckey Crockett" as one of a number of Howard counterparts in the "Other Versions of Howard the Duck" in two-page feature in Crazy Magazine#36.

    Clearly, Duckey Crockett was inspired by Davy Crockett, from the Real World/Earth-1218; an American politician, militia official and frontiersman who perished at the Battle of the Alamo.

    According to our friend Wikipedia, Davy Crockett was born in 1786 in what is now Limestone, Greene County, Tennessee (which was at the time part of the proposed state of Franklin. He gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling, was made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County, Tennessee, and was elected to the Tennessee state legislature in 1821, and to the U.S. Congress in 1827. After losing an election in 1835, he departed to the Mexican state Tejas (now Texas), and in 1836 he took part in the Texas Revolution and died in the Battle of the Alamo under unspecified circumstances. He had two wives and six children.
    During his lifetime and after his death, he has been credited with larger-than-life-exploits and acts of mythical proportion. He is one of the best known American folk heroes.

    No further context is available, but it makes me wonder:

• Did Howard travel from his anthropomorphic animals world (or Duckworld, depending on the version) to Earth, arriving in the American frontier?
• Did he originate on the same world in which he was a frontiersman?
• How much of Davy Crockett's history does Duckey Crockett share?
• Place and date of birth?
• Military and political careers?
• Fate at the Battle of the Alamo.
