Darkwing Duck #9

There's something delightfully off about this cover — Darkwing Duck in his familiar purple hat and cape stands before a framed portrait of a beefy, star-spangled superhero duck, while a red-dressed woman gestures admiringly at the painting and a mysterious silhouetted figure watches from the foreground. James Silvani's cover art plays beautifully with questions of identity and image, setting a playful yet intriguing tone for "F.O.W.L. Disposition, Part 1." Boom! Studios' 2011 run of Disney's Darkwing Duck continues to deliver the kind of sharp, character-driven humor that makes this series such a treat.
