Description I started this page on friday and everything in the world decided to keep me from finishing it until now. It was something I just wanted to fool around with and although im disappointed with most of the poses, i am exceptionally happy with the highlight work i did on it.

I like to imagine Darkwing is a complex character that is filled with confidence, intelligence and cunning. I also like to think that a good portion of his actions are fueled by the idea that he's making a better world for his daughter.

I'm a head over heels person for their interaction; i've never experienced a father/daughter relationship that felt genuinely lovingly and filled with so much win as those two. So i tend to make them live for one another alot in the things i write or draw. Although Gosalyn doesnt appear in this comic, she is the driving force behind the idea that he is invincible as long as he has her waiting for him.

Normally, the typical Liz motto is to take the bond and shatter it utterly through some family disaster for reader entertainment. I think however that since my uncle passed away and i lost the closes thing i ever had to a father, that my desire to cause such damage, albeit fictionally has significantly eased up. Either that or i simply care too much for this pair to see something bad happen between them.


..Man look at me being all emotional. Bah.

There's no 'sequel' to this page, please don't demand me to continue like so many people have to the ASADAE comic. It was just a try at a spontaneous comic page. For me. When i was feeling under the weather.

I should however draw a picture of Gos and Drake being happy together. Or maybe hope someone else will. (hinthinthinthint :B)


And YES. No Negaduck! i'm as surprised as you are. I guess probably because i imagine a fight between them would be considerably more personal...and bloody.


EDIT: I should add that this was kinda/sorta inspired by Frank Miller's Batman. Because that comic is sheer win.

*drool* Uhm, yup,  definetly FM's 'The Dark Knight Returns'. With just a hint of Eastman and Laird, again. Amazing. When I'm 'nder the weather' I don't come up with this kind of genious. I'm happy if I can do a barely recognizable doodle. Excuse me, I'm just rambling, I think this is just awesome. The shading, the expressions, the monologue...just perfect.

Ah Eastman and Laird, I've actually only seen a bit of the original roots of the Turtles, but the quality of their work and the detail is stunning. Plus violence, gotta dig that.

Glad you enjoyed it.

WOw, neat. Very neat! And Darkwing with almost glowing eyes..!
Your narration was very good too. Gives soul to DW's passion for busting baddies.

*A* This is wonderful. I agree with you that DW's relationship with Goz is not only extremely sweet, but also one of his primary motivations. I mean look how he didn't even have a secret identity before he adopted her.

This is just excellent. Yes, Gosalyn is the reason Drake both keeps fighting and does his best to stay alive.

Now THIS is the kind of Darkwing Duck comic we'd like to see! Great job! I can definitely see the "Dark Knight Returns" inspiration.

I share the same thoughts as you in regards to the DW/Gosalyn relationship. You don't see one like theirs anywhere.

I love your decision to use grayscale rather than colors--it sets a more appropriate, more serious, mood.

And my sympathies to you on the passing of your uncle.

Truly awesome work here! The lighting, background and expressions are EXTREMELY well done! I truly like the dark-ish feel of the comic.

I ESPECIALLY like Megavolt's expressions in this. I've always found him kind of annoying to draw and you just got him down perfectly!

On a side note, DW and Gos has been the most meaningful father-daughter relationship to me too. It always stood out for me, long after the cartoon ended. It had the perfect amount of humor and affection to make it such a fun interaction. I've been really really hoping the BOOM! comics would touch upon it more, but it's been virtually non-existent I think my favourite though was "Terror of the Time Turtle" with Drake helping Gos pick out a pet... too adorable when he gets all protective, fighting over the turtle with Chrono Duck.

Yeah, I agree that was an awesome story. Then again, I think the reason it even was about Darkwing and Gosalyn was because Tad Stones himself, wrote it. I doubt it would have happened if Brill had gotten a hold if it.

The mood, bitch, the mood. You can almost taste the mood as it creeps in from the darkness, illuminated by moonlight and the crackling electricity from Megavolt's hands. I LOVE Panel 6. It's so film noir almost in its simplicity, like time standing still, that whole slow motion, frame-by-frame animation that is so sorely lacking in shows today. You feel the rush of air, you can hear the lightning, every heartbeat. It's wonderful stuff <3

I also adore the fact DW smacked the shit outta Megavolt's nose with BOTH fists. That's gotta HURT, but, my god, that's him to a T - he does NOT throw punches or fights, he gives both fucking barrels right where it counts. Aaaaand MV's down for the count, seeing stars, just the way DW likes it

If I could draw Disney Ducks as well as you can, I would be showering you in happy fanarts. However, I sucketh and have done so for quite some time on that front XP I will however attempt to shower you in fanarts nonetheless. Because fuck, it's you, any reason will do
