Beverly Switzler is the deuteragonist in the Howard the Duck series including the 1986 live action movie Howard the Duck. She is the lead rock-n-roll singer and the love interest of Howard.

History[]

Beverly is being attacked by thugs as Howard T. Duck arrives on Earth. He decides to help her out with his unique brand of "Quack Fu". After the thugs scamper, Beverly introduces herself to Howard and decides to take him to her apartment and let him spend the night. The next day, Beverly takes Howard to Phil Blumburtt, whom Beverly hopes can help Howard return to his world but proves ignorant on the subject.

After Cherry Bomb's manager is forced out of his contract Beverly chooses Howard to be Cherry Bomb's new manager and Howard accompanies her back to the apartment. The two begin to flirt but are interrupted when Blumburtt and two of his colleagues, Doctor Walter Jenning and Larry, arrive and reveal how Howard came to Earth. When the police arrive at the lab where Jenning's device had exploded, the resulting chaos leads Beverly, Howard and Jenning to escape from the police as Jenning's transformation becomes more apparent.

Switzler first appeared in Howard the Duck #1 (Jan. 1976), before going on to appear alongside Howard in most of his appearances, although she did not make very many appearances in comics throughout the eighties.

Switzler appears in the poorly received 1986 film adaptation Howard the Duck, played by Lea Thompson. Although this version differs from the comic incarnation of the character as she was a singer.

While the film is considered a box office bomb, Thompson's performance was mostly praised.
