Dynamite Entertainment has become the source for Disney fans who yearn for the return of some of their '90s favorites. Gargoyles has found new life at the publisher, and now Darkwing Duck is making his comeback.
Today Dynamite announced that they'll be launching a new Darkwing Duck comic book series with the involvement of original animated series creator/writer Tad Stones. But before that book gets off the ground, Dynamite will be rereleasing every previous Darkwing Duck comic in a trio of graphic novel compendiums.
IGN can exclusively debut the cover art to these graphic novels, which will be offered as standard softcover and hardcover editions as well as Deluxe Edition hardcovers. Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:
Like with the similar Gargoyles graphic novels, Dynamite is turning to Kickstarter to crowdfund the Darkwing Duck reprints. The first volume will collect the entirety of writer Amanda Deibert and artist Carlo Cid Lauro's 2023 series. The second volume will collect Lauro and writer Roger Langridge's miniseries Justice Ducks and writer Jeff Parker and artist Ciro Cangialosi's miniseries Negaduck. The third volume will collect all of the pre-Dynamite Darkwing Duck comics, including stories originally published in Disney Adventures magazine.
The Darkwing Duck Kickstarter campaign is live now. Backers have the option to add optional extras like a facsimile of the original Darkwing Duck #1, art prints and even original commissioned art by artists like Jae Lee and Ken Haeser. Those who back the campaign in the first 48 hours will also receive an exclusive mini-print.
