In Chip Zdarsky's 2015 run of Howard the Duck, the primary supporting character is Tara Tam, a millennial tattoo artist that becomes acquainted with Howard and accompanies him throughout some of his adventures. Depending on who the artist is, she appears to have a different skin color. Have either of the character's creators, Zdarsky or Joe Quinones, given a definitive answer as to what ethnicity Tara Tam is supposed to be?

2The surname Tam is mainly associated with Vietnam and Malaysia. It's also extremely common in China– ValorumCommented May 18, 2022 at 7:25

I'm not a big Howard the Duck follower but IMHO she looks very Malay or at least SE Asian.– Robert ColumbiaCommented May 18, 2022 at 10:11

I have twitted at the creators. Hopefully they'll weigh in with an answer.– ValorumCommented May 18, 2022 at 11:53
