" I believe someone transposed the numbers on the top. This is NOT Paul Smith. This is NOT from issue 32 of the Howard The Duck comic book. Ink wash pages like this were only in the Howard The Duck Magazine, a black & white magazine-sized publication. This is most likely page 32 of Howard The Duck Magazine issue 9. There were multiple stories in that issue, hence why it also says 'Page 13" at the bottom of the page.

We appreciate the insight, Ken. We are still in the process of vetting the catalog data from which I pull these descriptions. It seems that some of the Howard pieces were mislabled by the consignor, but you are absolutely correct. This art is clearly from the late 70s or early 80s (not 1986) and we are working to verify right now. We believe it's Golden from Mag #1 but haven't finished the research. Thanks again!
