Destroyer Duck isn't Howard the Duck, and if Marvel wanted to sue, they
could probably win a libel case.  Destroyer Duck is truly drekulous.

Unfortunately, Kirby and Gerber are both extremists.  So, for that matter, is
Byrne.  When an extremist isn't moderated by a couple other folks telling
them that what they are doing is  a) bullshit or b) overstated or c) clumsy
and undeveloped, then the extremist blithely slips into self-parody.

Another reason for not buying Destroyer Duck is that Howard the Duck was
clearly NOT a creation of Steve Gerber, although Gerber did successfully
develop him as a character.  If you like Gerber stuff, buy Stewart the Rat,
since as an original character, and a non-duck, he is much more enjoyable
(even though there are those extremes again).
