Duckman

Everett Peck’s Duckman brings the acerbic, chain-smoking private eye to Dark Horse Comics in a single 1990 issue, capturing the character’s signature blend of cynical humor and offbeat charm before his later animated fame. Peck both writes and illustrates this debut, establishing the foul-mouthed duck’s noir-tinged misadventures with a distinct, scrappy energy. A cult touchstone for fans of Peck’s singular vision, this one-shot marks the comic book origin of a memorable antihero.
