About this Collection

This volume from Fantagraphics' Disney Masters series collects Italian Disney comics from the 1990s, featuring Donald Duck in his secret identity as the Duck Avenger. The stories, created by a team of Italian artists and writers, showcase Donald's dual life as a bumbling civilian and a costumed superhero protecting Duckburg from various threats. It includes a mix of action and humor typical of the Duck Avenger adventures, with art by renowned Italian Disney artists like Massimo De Vita and Romano Scarpa.

"Duck Avenger Strikes Again! Chapter 1 of 2" brings together the legendary storytelling of Romano Scarpa, Carl Barks, and Joe Torcivia, with Scarpa’s art and Sandro Zemolin’s inks lending timeless flair to a tale where Scrooge’s wits are tested by a money-scented perfume and a mysterious princess from a forgotten realm. Cover by Andrea Freccero, this 2019 Fantagraphics release sees Brigitta’s vacation take an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon an ancient civilization, leading to a mix-up that sets the stage for a royal mystery — and the return of the Duck Avenger.
