DARKWING DUCK (2024)

He is the terror that flaps in the night! The fowl that felons most fear! A legend in his own time (and his own mind)! He is... DARKWING DUCK! But how did this avian exemplar develop his redoubtable reputation? What lessons did he learn in his early days of crime-busting and foe-foiling? His legion of fans (or, at least, his adopted daughter, Gosalyn) want to know - and DW is more than happy to tell her the whole (possibly embellished) story in this unauthorized (and unorganized) autobiography! Renowned writer DANIEL KIBBLESMITH (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Loki, Black Panther vs. Deadpool) and the double-headed art team of TED BRANDT & RO STEIN (The Mighty Captain Marvel, Tales of the Titans: Beast Boy) return to the rooftops of St. Canard with an all-new series that revisits (and likely revises) Darkwing Duck's formative years - with a debut issue cover from artist TAD STONES, creator of the original Darkwing Duck animated series, as well as instantly iconic imagery from BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, and CIRO CANGIALOSI!

After flipping the switch on Megavolt in last month's debut issue, Darkwing Duck transforms here into the Terror That Claps in the Night when his adopted daughter Gosalyn is cast in a school play! True, it's only a small role (Gos and her friend Honker are portraying pieces of shrubbery), but it proves to be a pivotal part when the packed house comes under attack on opening night by the sappiest member of the Fearsome Five - BUSHROOT! The green-thumbed creative team of writer DANIEL KIBBLESMITH (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and artists TED BRANDT & RO STEIN (The Mighty Captain Marvel) continue to unearth the Defender of St. Canard's early adventures in the second issue of their evergreen new series - crowned with covers from original animated show creator TAD STONES as well as BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, and CIRO CANGIALOSI!

CROUCHING GANDER, HIDDEN MALLARD! As a costumed crimefighter with years of experience safeguarding the streets of St. Canard, Darkwing Duck is, of course, a seasoned master of wing-to-wing combat. But how, exactly, did this avian avatar of justice become so proficient in the ways of the fist and (webbed) feet? For years the full story has been shrouded in mystery - until now! In this special Untold Tale of Darkwing Duck, readers will be transported back to DW's earliest days at the Training Temple of the Venerable One, where the Old Master imparted wisdom and takedowns in equal measure - and where a young Darkwing learned the value of patience, self-control, and standing up to bullies! Wizened calligrapher DANIEL KIBBLESMITH and Zen brush masters TED BRANDT & RO STEIN achieve perfect harmony in Darkwing Duck #3 - sealed with singular covers by BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and original animated show creator TAD STONES!

LET'S GET DANGEOUS...LY SMALL! In this issue: Darkwing and Launchpad return to the serious business of thwarting crime, only to run afowl of yet another nefarious nemesis - this time in the form of Quackerjack, who enlists the help of Lilliput and his shrink ray to cut the two Defenders of St. Canard down to action-figure size and trap them in a family fun arcade! Partners in crime DANIEL KIBBLESMITH, TED BRANDT, and RO STEIN set the stage for scale-model supervillainy in Darkwing Duck #4 - supported by cover co-conspirators BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and original animated show creator TAD STONES!

In this issue: Fate conspires to throw Darkwing into conflict once again with the malevolent Megavolt! Could this be a sign that the high-voltage villain is really the arch-nemesis of DW's dreams? To find out, Darkwing will have to strap on a pair of oversized goggles and try to thwart Megavolt's virtual heist in the newfangled digital realm known as "The Internet"! Cyberspace veterans DANIEL KIBBLESMITH, TED BRANDT, and RO STEIN power up their modems and prepare to pwn the n00bs with Darkwing Duck #5 featuring leet cover warez from BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and original animated show creator TAD STONES!

THE DUCK OF A THOUSAND FACES! As St. Canard's most streetwise freelance defender, Darkwing Duck is famed for his ability to infiltrate even the most secretive of criminal conspiracies - and not always by accident! His unequalled reputation as a master of disguise now precedes him - but it wasn't always that way. Find out how the Fearsome Fowl first learned the clandestine arts of concealment in this all-new Untold Tale of Darkwing Duck - and witness the novice crimefighter's first face-off with Camille Chameleon! Committed cosplayers DANIEL KIBBLESMITH, TED BRANDT, and RO STEIN put their finest fake beards forward in Darkwing Duck #6 - all cloaked in camouflaging covers by BRANDT & STEIN, ALESSANDRO RANALDI, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and original animated show creator TAD STONES!
