Sponsored.  DuckTales — woo hoo!  Dynamite Entertainment and Disney are excited to fully announce the heralded return of some of the most beloved characters across comics, animation, and beyond back to their original medium for ongoing monthly adventures with bestselling all-ages author Brandon Montclare (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Rocket Girl) at the helm, with Italian virtuoso Tommaso Ronda bringing the fabulous four-color visuals.

Riches are everywhere, you just need to know where to look!  The ridiculously wealthy Scrooge McDuck is the most famous resident of Duckburg, but his fortune goes beyond his infamous vault stuffed to the brim with money that he loves swimming through.  To the young Huey, Dewey, and Louie, their "Unca's" endless fountain of stories is worth more than any gold.  And alongside him, they're always creating new memories and tales to tell.  In this new comic book series, the triplets will learn that the most important inheritance they can get from Scrooge is his lifetime of wisdom.

"For months I've been working with a bunch of new collaborators to create some great DuckTales material… but now that it's breaking news, I can't help but think back 35 years," said writer Brandon Montclare.  "I was a kid watching DuckTales on TV, along with a pile of other cartoons and action movies. With a big pile of action figures.  And stacks and stacks of comic books.  There was nothing I wanted more than to be in the comics biz when I grew up.  As that dream became a reality, and I got smarter at stories, there's an appreciation for the generations of influence that started with Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge comics and runs through many creative titans.  So our new comic is timeless and all ages.  There's nostalgia for the audience that have enjoyed these characters for decades as well as inspiration for new readers.  Because at the heart of DuckTales is adventure: anyone can go out their door, or open a book, and discover priceless treasure."

The opening story arc of the series is primarily focused on the "core four" of DuckTales and set in Duckburg, as they uncover the town's secrets - and secret treasures.  Montclare's formatting of the stories will also intersperse flashback looks at some of Scrooge's past adventures across mysterious islands and other exotic locations, alongside allies and enemies like Launchpad, Glomgold, Webby, Gyro Gearloose, Magica De Spell, the Beagle Boys, and many more.

Montclare's ambitious story is matched by the vibrant artwork of Tommaso Ronda.  Disney's comics and particularly those starring the ducks are known for featuring work by diverse creators from all across the world.  Ronda hails from Italy, a country with a deep roster of acclaimed Disney artists, and continuing his own portfolio of drawing these characters.  The creative team is rounded out by letterer Fabio Amelia. While editor Nathan Cosby keeps the ducks in order.

DuckTales #1 releases November 6 to treat fans with a special present ahead of the holiday season.  It will feature a range of gorgeous covers from the likes of Ivan Bigarella, Francesco Tomaselli, Carlo Cid Lauro, and Alan Quah.  Additionally, a classic piece of artwork from the Disney vaults is presented as a special variant.

The denizens of Duckburg's all-new adventures will primarily follow in the footsteps of the brilliant original DuckTales show that ran from 1987-1990 and imprinted on a generation of children across the world, and the next ones through reruns and reboots.  The show heavily built on a long legacy of the Disney ducks in comic strips and books going back a whopping nine decades, and such legends as Carl Barks and Don Rosa inevitably influence Montclare and the team's approach as well.
