Appearances
As far as I'm aware, Leonard has only made two appearances in comics.

The first, of course, was in November 1996, when Erik Larsen helped Steve Gerber grab his duck and run for the border: Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck #1. The only other appearance I know of was in one panel of the Nevada short story in Vertigo Winter's Edge 2, accompanied as ever by the lovely Rhonda.

Howard the Duck, of course, appeared in many Marvel comics, most notably his own esteemed title, and always written by Steve Gerber. Another Howard the Duck made appearances in various other Marvel comic books, including a few of HIS own title, but anyone encountering those appearances could easily tell he was an impostor (and not just because Gerber's name didn't appear on the writing credits; this Howard just plain sucked).

Obviously, I'm only going to list the appearances of the REAL Howard. Pick up the other one at your own risk.
