SDCC 2026: Dynamite’s ‘DuckTales’ Kickstarter Funds In One Minute
by Erik Amaya
We know the theme song is already playing in your head.
One thing we know about Dynamite’s partnership with Disney: DuckTales remains popular whenever a new series is announced. But for Comic-Con International: San Diego 2026, the company is looking back to the 20th Century for its latest McDuck-related crowdfunding campaign.
As announced on Tuesday, the DuckTales classic comics collection campaign seeks to reprint vintage material from as far back as 1988. It all begins with Coin of the Realm, which features the original 13-issue comic released alongside the classic animated series. William Van Horn, Daan Jippes, and artists from the Jaime Diaz Studio take the creative lead in this first of five volumes.
Scrooge’s Quest is the second volume and collects the Disney Comics stories of the early 1990s. Writer Marv Wolfman and artist Cosme Quartieri send Scrooge on the eponymous adventure while the tome also includes the seven-part follow-up, “Gold Odyssey.”
The third volume, Like A Hurricane, brings together tales published by Boom! Studios in the 2010s. Epic Mickey‘s Warren Spector writes a number of these stories, which includes a crossover with Darkwing Duck and his pals.
Money-Grubbing Hooligans from the Deep!, the fourth volume on offer, focuses on 2017 and the comics published to coincide with the more recent DuckTales animated series. It includes contributions from Joey Cavalieri, Joe Caramagna, and Ciro Cangialosi.
And finally, the fifth volume will collect Dynamite’s stories to date: Brandon Montclare and Tommaso Ronda‘s year-long stint on DuckTales and the DuckTales Valentine’s Day Special by Connor Ratliff, James III, and Carlo Lauro. The collected tome will be called Four Corners of Your World.
As always, there are various formats, backer incentives, signed editions, optional slipcovers, and customizable bundles to be found on the campaign’s Kickstarter page. The individual volumes can also be obtained separately in different pledge tiers for those who only want specific stories. Also, those interested in the books will be happy to know that the project funded in one minute after it went live yesterday afternoon. Clearly, Scrooge’s luck is with this one.
