DuckTales #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDuckTales #9 is part of the first ongoing comic series set in the original 1987 Disney Afternoon universe to launch since the Joe Books Darkwing Duck run concluded roughly seven years earlier, making each issue of this Dynamite run a historically meaningful return for these characters to monthly comics. Issue #9 in particular shifts the series' character focus outward from Uncle Scrooge and the nephews to spotlight Webby Vanderquack and Doofus Drake — a fan-beloved Junior Woodchuck duo with deep roots in the 1987 animated series — signaling that the Montclare-Ronda run intends to mine the full ensemble cast rather than orbiting Scrooge exclusively. By placing Doofus Drake in a rare lead/rescue role, the issue reinforces the creative team's commitment to rehabilitating underutilized characters from the original show's supporting roster in a new comic context.

The Dynamite Entertainment DuckTales series was announced on July 23, 2024 and launched with issue #1 on November 6, 2024, pairing writer Brandon Montclare — known for all-ages work including Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and Rocket Girl — with Italian artist Tommaso Ronda, with lettering by Fabio Amelia and editing by Nate Cosby. The first story arc, 'Four Corners of Your World,' ran across issues #1–5 and suffered notable release delays outside the creative team's control, with some issues arriving months behind schedule. By issue #9, shipping December 3, 2025, the series had moved past those early logistical challenges and into a new phase of self-contained, character-focused stories that reviewers noted the team had planned from the outset.
