The Duck Knight returns this February, as Disney’s beloved Darkwing Duck spreads his wings and dons his crime-fighting garb in a new ongoing comic book series! Fan-favorite writer and comedy virtuoso Daniel Kibblesmith helms the team, joined by artistic duo Ted Brandt and Ro Stein, as well as contributions from beloved original character creator Tad Stones!
“I am the writer who scripts in the night. I am (writing) Darkwing Duck. And I couldn’t feel luckier. Let’s get dangerous — and let’s get pre-ordered!” said writer Daniel Kibblesmith.
The fowl that felons most fear is back in action each and every month, upping the ante for Dynamite Entertainment’s new era of comic book tales following the escapades of Disney’s world-famous ducks. This new series takes a fun approach, courtesy of writer Kibblesmith, seeking to ask and answer all the essential questions about the beloved star. How did this avian exemplar develop his redoubtable reputation? What lessons did he learn in his earliest days of foe-foiling? His legion of fans, both within the story and reading these comics, as well as his adopted daughter, Gosalyn, want the lowdown on all these key questions. Darkwing is more than happy to revisit the highlights of his crime-busting career — though there can be no promise that these chronicles will not be embellished, organized, chronological, or verifiable in any way. But they will be a blast!
As fans return to the rooftops of St. Canard, they will learn that an unreliable narrator is better than no narrator at all. Readers are invited to revisit Darkwing Duck’s formative years, and his most famous feats. It’s up to them to determine what they can believe!
Joining the creative team of Kibblesmith, Brandt, Stein, colorist Dearbhla Kelly, and letterer Fabio Amelia, is the character’s legendary original creator from the early 1990s. Artist, animator, writer, director, and producer Tad Stones is back with his most signature work. The debut issue of the new series sports an incredible cover newly illustrated by Stones.
“I was delighted with Dynamite bringing Darkwing Duck and family back to comics with three, count ‘em three, titles featuring his super pals and his ultimate nemesis, and then they dragged me into the craziness for a bunch of variant covers on this new series,” character creator Tad Stones said. “The stories and art I’ve seen have captured the comedy and adventure of the original series while bringing a fresh take on it all. Thrilled to be a part of it!”
On the variant covers front, Tad is joined by another artistic great in Mark Bagley (Spider-Man), as well as Nicoletta Baldari, Ciro Cangialosi, and interior art duo Brandt and Stein.
DARKWING DUCK #1 is slated for release in February 2025 at comic book retailers and digital platforms like Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more.
