The Disney Afternoon is slowly coming together, in comic form!
A few days ago I reported Darkwing Duck would be receiving his own miniseries later this year, and now BOOM! Studios has announced that it will be revisiting another iconic Disney Afternoon cartoon series — DuckTales!
If you want to find the inhabitants of Duckburg, look no further than Uncle Scrooge #392. The DuckTales storyline will be four issues, and starts shipping this June.
Here’s BOOM!’s full press release.
Don’t mind me if you hear me singing the theme song in the background as you read…
One of the most action-packed Disney franchises returns to the comic page in a big way this summer from BOOM Kids! Mickey’s Mailbag has been overflowing with requests for a trip back to the world of The Disney Afternoon, and because the fans demanded it… DuckTales returns starting in Uncle Scrooge #392 this June.
The premiere of DuckTales in Uncle Scrooge #392 will appear on store shelves the same month as BOOM!’s new Darkwing Duck mini-series that was announced this past weekend.
“DuckTales is one of the most beloved television shows of the ’90s,” said BOOM Kids! editor Aaron Sparrow. “It’s just spectacular to be bringing it back for a whole new generation to discover and enjoy!”
The fun begins in Uncle Scrooge #392, as BOOM Kids! kicks off the four-issue arc, “Like a Hurricane!” Fans of both the groundbreaking animated series and the classic Carl Barks comics it was based on will delight at the chance to get their hands on these stories, never before seen in the United States, that are coupled with some old favorites printed at the time of the original television series.
Non-stop adventure is what’s in store when Uncle Scrooge is accompanied by his nephews, plus the unpredictable Lauchpad McQuack! Add in some super-heroics from the amazing Gizmoduck, and you have a recipe for an epic good time!
Uncle Scrooge #392 contains the first installments of the “Like a Hurricane!” saga entitled “The Everlasting Coal” which is written by Paul Halas & Tom Anderson, with interior art by Xavier Vives Mateu. Uncle Scrooge #392 also includes the classic backup “The Littlest Gizmoduck” written by Chris Weber and Karen Willson with interiors by Roberto Santillo. This kick-off issue features two covers in a 50/50 split by Michel Nadorp and Magic Eye Studios and carries a cover price of $2.99 and ships this June.
Thanks Vactor for giving us this news and link. I am a little older than the average viewer of this show. I watched wth my little brother after school back in the day. I still love that theme song.

Anyone else other than me read that headline and have “awooo-ooh” along with the theme song pop into their heads?

The first thing that came to my mind was the theme song. I always loved it. Thanks Tom for posting the link.
