Danger is right behind you as DuckTales #1 is rocketing into stores this November from Dynamite. Written by Brandon Montclare, with art by Tommaso Ronda, the brand-new series brings back Uncle Scrooge and his nephews for all-new adventures.
“For months I’ve been working with a bunch of new collaborators to create some great DuckTales material… but now that it’s breaking news, I can’t help but think back 35 years,” said Montclare via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “I was a kid watching DuckTales on TV, along with a pile of other cartoons, action movies, a mountain of of action figures, and stacks on stacks of comic books. There was nothing I wanted more than to be in the comics biz when I grew up. As that dream became a reality, and I got smarter at stories, there’s an appreciation for the generations of influence that started with Carl Barks’ Uncle Scrooge comics and runs through many creative titans.
“So, our new comic is timeless and fit for all ages. There’s nostalgia for the audience that have enjoyed these characters for decades as well as inspiration for new readers. Because at the heart of DuckTales is adventure: anyone can go out their door or open a book and discover priceless treasure.”
The new comic doesn’t hit until November, but you can check out a preview of what to expect, below. Added editor Nate Cosby, “What makes DuckTales unique is that it’s TWO stories in ONE comic: Huey, Dewey & Louie are striking out on their first adventures, while the world-famous Scrooge McDuck continues to seek treasure after an epic lifetime of expeditions. The incredible stories that Brandon and Tomasso are creating will delight fans of the original animated series, and the classic comics by Carl Barks and Don Rosa!”

DuckTales #1 Official Synopsis:
The ridiculously wealthy Scrooge McDuck is the most famous resident of Duckburg-but his fortune goes far beyond mere currency. To his young nephews- ‘Unca’ Scrooge is rich in something even more important than money stories! Whether it’s the saga of how he dug his first million out of the Klondike- or the many times he saved his lucky Number One Dime from the clutches of Magica De Spell- the feisty tycoon is a font of mesmerizing tales and Huey- Dewey- and Louie can’t get enough!
But even as they pester their Uncle to share more yarns of his legendary quests and globetrotting treasure hunts- the three boys are about to learn that the most valuable item Scrooge McDuck owns isn’t locked up in his absurdly capacious Money Bin -it’s the lifetime of wisdom he’s got stockpiled inside his head! Writer BRANDON MONTCLARE (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur- Rocket Girl) and artist TOMMASO RONDA (Kalya) uncover a vein of solid gold adventures with Duck Tales #1 burnished by billion-dollar covers from IVAN BIGARELLA- FRANCESCO TOMASELLI- CARLO LAURO- and ALAN QUAH!
