TV Shows on DVD is reporting that the cult 1990s animated series Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man, which is based on the comic book series created by Everett Peck for Dark Horse Comics (and later published by Topps Comics after the Duckman cartoon appeared on the USA Network) will finally come to DVD during 2008.  No release date has been set for the first Duckman DVD, but the TV Shows on DVD Website quotes Peck as indicating that the first DVD release will likely include the first two seasons of the animated series, a total of 22 episodes.

Over 7,000 fans have signed an online petition aimed at getting the 70-episode Duckman series, which originally appeared on Saturday nights on the USA Network from 1994-1997, out on DVD.  The raunchy sitcom cartoon about the adventures of a lascivious (and totally incompetent) duck private eye voiced by Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame quickly developed a cult following in the 1990s and the series could do the same on DVD. 

Frank Zappa supplied the music for the cartoon's first season (his son Dweezil, who voiced the character of Duckman's son Ajax, spliced and rearranged the music for subsequent seasons).

Duckman lasted for four seasons on USA.  The first season contained thirteen episodes, while the second had only nine.  The third season featured a more standard 20 episodes, while the fourth season included 28.  Like another 1980s creation, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Duckman began as a black-and-white comic, was adapted into cartoon series and then reappeared as a color comic book.
