Duckenstein

In Duckenstein (2020–present, Glénat), classic monster horror gets a delightful, absurdist twist as the iconic Disney ducks—most notably the irascible Scrooge McDuck and his nephews—find themselves entangled in a mad scientist’s experiment gone hilariously wrong. This single-issue series, written by an unnamed creative team, reimagines Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein through a comedic, all-ages lens, blending the familiar Duck universe with gothic parody. Why it matters: it’s a playful, one-shot homage that showcases how beloved characters can be reinvented in unexpected genres, offering a quick, clever read for fans of both Disney and classic literature.
