IT WAS A DARK AND FROGGY EVENING! It’s time to cue the music; it’s time to dim the lights! It’s time to get things started as the Muppets return tonight! The show is about to begin at the famous Muppet Theatre, and the regular pre-curtain chaos has the troupe’s stalwart MC, Kermit the Frog, coming apart at the seams. In an attempt to de-stress, he settles down to read a few pages of a favorite old detective novel — only to get kayoed by an errant brick to the bean, leaving him laid out backstage as his co-stars try to coax him back to consciousness. But unbeknownst to them, Kermit has taken up the hard-boiled mantle of his fictional hero to walk the darkened streets of Dreamland, righting wrongs and cracking cases under the concealing cover of night. Flip Minnow, P.I., has no time for song and dance — not if he’s going to solve the baffling mystery of the Snoozing Sleuth! Legendary cartooning talent and Muppets comics veteran ROGER LANGRIDGE bellies up to the drawing table once more for an all-new tale of crime and pun-ishment with The Muppets Noir #1 — featuring clue-filled cover art from both the author and guest artist DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as an appropriately enigmatic DELUXE MYSTERY BLIND BAG!

A TREASURY OF THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT! In 1991, the original animated adventures of Darkwing Duck debuted on THE DISNEY AFTERNOON and ABC.

Now, over 30 years later, Dynamite is proud to add to the legacy of the Duck Knight by bringing these timeless tales back into print in an all-new omnibus edition! Reprinted here for the first time in a single volume are all of the Guardian of St. Canard’s comic book adventures from the original DARKWING DUCK miniseries and THE DISNEY AFTERNOON #1-10.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES! When Dr. Jumba learns about humanity’s nuanced outlook on verbal deception — including white lies, fibbing, and bald-faced lying — he sees a golden opportunity for the kind of evil scheme that will finally get him reinstated at E.G.G.S (the intergalactic Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate). After a feverish night of work, he reveals his masterpiece: a robot suit for Stitch that sniffs out lies — all lies — and compels everyone to tell the truth! The chaos that results is beyond his wildest dreams — and just as he hoped, E.G.G.S. quickly takes notice. But can anyone — even the galaxy’s most powerful association of organized evil — really withstand a constant barrage of unvarnished veracity? Find out in Stitch #6, the greatest comic book ever created (would we lie to you?) — featuring words by CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III, art by GRETA XELLA, and covers by EDWIN GALMON, Jae Lee, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!
