Can you tell us a little bit about how you first got involved with DuckTales at Dynamite?
I was just super excited to do it.
How would you describe your take on the series?
(Image credit: Dynamite)
It’s an ongoing comic set in the continuity of the 1987 cartoon.
I think it’s going to be very special.
What can you tease about the storylines for those first issues?

Duckburg is where the adventures are there’s so much going on in this town.
Before I did Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur I would have had no idea!
And you could play that both ways, right?

Hopefully kids are going to be excited, but there’s something for everybody.
These characters have been around for a good while now.
Was there a sense when you took this on that there were things that maybe needed modernizing?

Or were you keen that it felt exactly like the DuckTales everyone remembers?
Yeah, it was the opposite of modernizing it.
It’s very much traditional DuckTales.

I like working inside parameters I don’t have an ego with that pop in of thing.
It’s consciously very traditional, for sure.
How much did you look to the previous DuckTales comics?

So I was familiar with it, but I wasn’t afraid or intimidated.
What I didn’t know was thatMarv Wolfmandid a whole bunch, so Nate Cosby sent those my way.
You know, this is my kind of storytelling anyway.

Are you going to touch on those at all?
If they weren’t in the ‘87 cartoon, we can’t use them.
We can’t use Donald.

I don’t think we can use Della, so yeah not so much.
Who’s your favorite character to write for?
It’s Uncle Scrooge.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are kind of there to tell Scrooge’s story.
But as a character, it’s really about Scrooge and what makes him tick.
DuckTales #1 is published by Dynamite on November 6.
Uncle Scrooge’sMarvel Comicsdebut looks like it will satirize of some of thebest Marvel villainsof all time.
