DARKWING DUCK OMNIBUS VOL. 1: DARKLY DAWNS THE DUCK

A TREASURY OF THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT! In 1991, the original animated adventures of Darkwing Duck debuted on THE DISNEY AFTERNOON and ABC. Over the next two years, 91 episodes were aired, and the critically acclaimed series won a legion of die-hard fans while becoming a cultural touchstone for a generation. This runaway success launched DW into the comics world as well, with a four-issue DARKWING DUCK miniseries appearing in 1991, followed by a year-long run in the first 10 issues of THE DISNEY AFTERNOON magazine in 1994. Now, over 30 years later, Dynamite is proud to add to the legacy of the Duck Knight by bringing these timeless tales back into print in an all-new omnibus edition! Reprinted here for the first time in a single volume are all of the Guardian of St. Canard’s comic book adventures from the original DARKWING DUCK miniseries and THE DISNEY AFTERNOON #1-10. This comprehensive hardcover collection also features a complete cover gallery from the original publications!
