New Releases by Roger Langridge

Just as crime never sleeps, so too do DARKWING DUCK and his faithful compatriots in the Justice Ducks (STEGMUTT, GIZMODUCK, NEPTUNIA, and MORGANA) resist the siren song of slumber until all threats from menacing miscreants have been managed. But that’s probably going to take a while, so maybe they’ll just rest their eyes for a bit…

Wait… is Darkwing actually huge, or have the JUSTICE DUCKS just become tiny? What’s going on here?!? Why, it’s more madcap alien-based tomfoolery, presented by the inimitable team of writer ROGER LANGRIDGE and artist CARLO LAURO (Darkwing Duck) — ably assisted by cover artists MIRKA ANDOLFO, ROGER LANGRIDGE, FRANCESCO TOMASELLI, and TRISH FORSTNER!

Strange robots have flooded the streets of St. Canard, and only THE JUSTICE DUCKS can save the day! But even the combined might of STEGMUTT, GIZMODUCK, NEPTUNIA, MORGANA, and (of course) DARKWING DUCK may not be enough to stop the robots’ master: THE BOTHERER, who wants to transform innocent people into horrible stone creatures that will enable him to take over the city — and eventually the world! Delineated by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning author ROGER LANGRIDGE and definitive Darkwing Duck artist CARLO LAURO, Justice Ducks #2 also features arresting cover art from MIRKA ANDOLFO, ROGER LANGRIDGE, FRANCESCO TOMASELLI, and TRISH FORSTNER!

Foes of evil! Enemies of injustice! To the mighty heroes of the JUSTICE DUCKS, all bad guys are a total bummer and must be taken down — even if said bad-o’s are from OUTER SPACE! In this thrilling maiden issue: Flying saucers descend from the skies, to (maybe) wreak (possible) havoc upon the (mostly) innocent citizens of St. Canard! All that’s stopping these aggressive alien agitators is STEGMUTT, GIZMODUCK, NEPTUNIA, MORGANA, and (most important, in his opinion) DARKWING DUCK! Written by the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning ROGER LANGRIDGE and illustrated by celebrated Darkwing Duck artist CARLO LAURO, this latest chapter in the ongoing saga of St. Canard’s web-footed wonders is surely destined for greatness — just like DD himself!

Fred the Clown is fit as a fiddle and looking for love in this ode to silent cinema by an acclaimed cartoonist. This nearly wordless romp from master cartoonist Roger Langridge is the author’s paean to the silent, slapstick comedies of the 1910s and ’20s, spun for a contemporary audience, starring his most popular character. It finds our hero Fred pitching the woo to a lovely equestrian. But with matrimony-minded fathers, boorish beaux, and malicious mad scientists interfering at every opportunity, what’s a clown―and his faithful pig companion―to do? Langridge’s velvety grays evoke the silent films of his patron saint, Buster Keaton (and, in this volume particularly, the latter’s masterpiece, The General). His craft is at a zenith, and captures every screwball twist and turn of the heiress’s and our hero’s romantic roundabout.

Join the Doctor and Clara on their amazing adventures in space and time. The Doctor and Clara are trapped in Highgate Cemetery in 1972, and become prey to a force that feeds on death itself. A strange visitor to Coal Hill School on Halloween sends Clara on a terrifying journey to the time of the witch trials. A team of mercenaries enters a lethal alien jungle, and the Doctor and Clara discover a familiar face.

Chockfull of hubris and dark whimsy are three stories to remind you to keep your nose clean.

Then, a would-be mass-murderer hits a critical point in his development in "Dr. Bizarre." And, in the deep South, a cocky young jazz musician_-who happens to be a hare-makes a deal with the devil in "Bre''r Hoodoo."

When Ming the Merciless launched an all-out assault on planet Earth, the colorful band of heroes known as Kings Watch led the resistance... and triumphed! Now, across the cosmos, in the dark corners of our very planet, and even throughout time, Earth''s defenders continue the mission, separate and yet together in spirit!

Remember mullets and teased bangs? Stonewashed denim jackets and jeans? Well, not everything about the ''80s was lame, because that''s when the Garbage Pail Kids ruled the world!
