GARGOYLES DARKWING DUCK #1

DYNAMITE COMICS
(W) Greg Weisman, Tad Stones (A) Ciro Cangialosi

JUSTICE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES! Worlds collide as two of the most beloved entries in the legendary Disney Afternoon lineup of animated shows meet for the first time ever in a brand-new title! After contacting a wary Morgana Macawber through her magic mirror, the scheming Demona whisks the uncooperative sorceress out of St. Canard and into her New York City lair, where she proceeds to grill Morgana for the location of a certain mystical tome with enough eldritch energy to allow Demona to finally conquer the world. Darkwing Duck, of course, isn’t about to take this lying down.
