Darkwing Duck is set to make his grand return this January courtesy of Dynamite Entertainment, and the publisher has unveiled the cover artwork and details for the first issue of the new series from writer Amanda Deibert and Italian artist Carlo Cid Lauro.
“Darkwing Duck was huge when I was a kid, and I am thrilled to help introduce the fun, humor, and action-packed mystery to a new generation!,” said writer Amanda Deibert. “Let’s get Dangerous!”
“Fans of the original TV series are in for a total treat, because Amanda and Carlo are conjuring up a hilarious, thrill-filled adventure series that’s directly connected with the classic feel of the show, but 100% accessible for new readers,” added editor Nate Cosby.
He is the terror that flaps in the night… He is the ferocious fowl who plucks the evil eye from the face of foul play. He is Darkwing Duck! By night he vigilantly defends his city of St. Canard from the dastardly, devilish demons who would wage wanton war with his trademark costume and gadgets, and lurks through the shadows, striking fear in the heart of the criminal underworld. By day he’s known as the mild-mannered Drake Mallard, father to his adorable adopted daughter Gosalyn. Can Darkwing successfully juggle his two separate lives, all while looking incredibly cool and impossibly handsome?
Along with the main cover from David Nakayama, Darkwing Duck #1 will be available with variants from Mirka Andolfo, Trish Forstner, Lesley “Leirix” Li, Jacob Edgar and Carlo Lauro…
