Darkwing Duck
About Darkwing Duck
In the vast reaches of the fictional metropolis of St. Canard, where evil lurked and crime ran rampant, there was only one chance for the future. By day, this great, feathered hope was known as Drake Mallard, a mild-mannered working duck. But by night, when his services were needed most, he turned into his crime-fighting alter ego, Darkwing Duck.
Like many of the other Disney cartoons of this era, the crime-fighting duck was featured concurrently on both The Disney Afternoon syndicated programming block and Saturday mornings on ABC. Spun off from the more adventure-oriented DuckTales show, Darkwing Duck never took itself too seriously and allowed a large measure of parody to surface in nearly every show.
