CROUCHING GANDER, HIDDEN MALLARD!
As a costumed crimefighter with years of experience safeguarding the streets of St. Canard, Darkwing Duck is, of course, a seasoned master of wing-to-wing combat. But how, exactly, did this avian avatar of justice become so proficient in the ways of the fist and (webbed) feet? For years the full story has been shrouded in mystery - until now!
In this special Untold Tale of Darkwing Duck, readers will be transported back to DW's earliest days at the Training Temple of the Venerable One, where the Old Master imparted wisdom and takedowns in equal measure - and where a young Darkwing learned the value of patience, self-control, and standing up to bullies!
Wizened calligrapher DANIEL KIBBLESMITH and Zen brush masters TED BRANDT & RO STEIN achieve perfect harmony in Darkwing Duck #3 - sealed with singular covers by BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and original animated show creator TAD STONES!
