Two of the Disney Afternoon hits, Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles, are teaming up in a new crossover at Dynamite Entertainment, with Greg Weisman and Tad Stones at the helm.
“When I started in development at Walt Disney Television Animation, the first show I ever worked on was Darkwing Duck, learning the gig under Tad,” said co-writer and Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “So nothing seems more appropriate than for Tad and I to team up to bring fans of both properties to this crossover event!”
When the diabolical Demona uses a mysterious magic mirror to recruit Morgana Macawber to her cause of mass destruction, Darkwing Duck and Launchpad McQuack flap their wings — actually they board the Thunderquack — over to Manhattan. They’ll quickly cross paths with Goliath and Elisa. It might be time for a classic hero versus hero misunderstanding brawl, and so much more will follow!
“Greg had no problem entering DW’s world since he was part of the show’s development from the start,” said co-writer and Darkwing creator Tad Stones. We traded notes, and I even sketched out visual gags when words failed me. Working with teams of creative artists and writers has always been the best part of my career, and this crossover is a new highlight.”
This is the first time in 15 years that Stones will be writing Darkwing Duck.
Joining Stones and Weisman is artist Ciro Cangialosi.
Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck arrives in stores in January 2026.
