MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 2010*. Stopped in 2011 after 18 issues, but has been briefly revived several times since then.

The title character is an anthropomorphic duck, who lives a quiet and normal life as Drake Mallard in St. Canard during daytime, but who becomes a superhero at nighttime. He has no superpowers, though, but relies on wits and gadgets (and a hugely inflated ego) when it comes to crime fighting.
The stories present characters invented for the series as well as known Disney characters. Examples are Gosalyn Waddlemwyer and Launchpad McQuack.

The series is loosely based on an animated Disney TV series that ran from 1991 to 1995 (91 episodes).

* The character was first seen in comic books from 1991.
