Description
After flipping the switch on Megavolt in last month's debut issue, Darkwing Duck transforms here into the Terror That Claps in the Night when his adopted daughter Gosalyn is cast in a school play!
True, it's only a small role (Gos and her friend Honker are portraying pieces of shrubbery), but it proves to be a pivotal part when the packed house comes under attack on opening night by the sappiest member of the Fearsome Five - BUSHROOT!
The green-thumbed creative team of writer DANIEL KIBBLESMITH (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and artists TED BRANDT & RO STEIN (The Mighty Captain Marvel) continue to unearth the Defender of St. Canard's early adventures in the second issue of their evergreen new series - crowned with covers from original animated show creator TAD STONES as well as BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, and CIRO CANGIALOSI!
