The next offering in VeVe’s digital comic line-up continues with an historical comic from Disney — The Diabolical Duck Avenger. Fully readable, with five cover rarities in blind box format.

This June, celebrate Donald Duck’s anniversary with a very special comic story featuring the first appearance of Donald’s superhero alter ego! Written in 1969 by Elisa Penna and Guido Martina and wonderfully drawn by Giovan Battista Carpi, “The Diabolical Duck Avenger” dives into the Duck Avenger’s origin story. In a comic full of Gyro Gearloose's super inventions, ingenious tricks, and unexpected luck, Donald finally impresses Uncle Scrooge and Gladstone Gander. Read on to discover how the Duck Avenger legend came to be!

‍
Main Cover
The very first version of this cover illustration was drawn by Marco Rota in 1983. Lightning rips across the sky behind Donald in his very first Duck Avenger suit: black tights, flowing cloak, and his iconic blue hat. The city skyline—the backdrop of Donald’s misadventures—glitters behind him.

Avenger Cover
This illustration by Dave Alvarez was featured as one of the variant covers of the Duck Avenger comic in the U.S. in 2015. Donald, as the Duck Avenger, springs into action in front of a bright full moon.

Italian Cover
This is the original cover created by Giovan Battista Carpi for a 1974 anthology of stories featuring “The Diabolical Duck Avenger.” Donald's alter-ego keeps his eyes on the horizon, precariously perched on a rooftop while a helpful cat puts his paws into action. The Duck Avenger dons a multi-colored suit and a mask to hide his true identity.

Diabolical Cover
This cover was initially published in Italy in 2005 for the first issue of a collection of volumes starring the Duck Avenger. Created by Italian artist Marco Gervasio and colored by Max Monteduro, the cover features The Duck Avenger charging toward the reader with the determined look of a fearless superhero.

Moon
This illustration, created by Andrea Freccero and colored by Max Monteduro, was published in Italy in 2017 as the cover for an entire volume of stories dedicated to the Duck Avenger. This cover features the original Italian name of the Duck Avenger: Paperinik. Donald, in his caped disguise, stands resolute on a rooftop with his arms crossed in front of a full moon.
