Donald Duck Takes Flight in 'Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Iron Man' #1

'Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Iron Man' #1, the latest in a series of one-shots that infuse classic Marvel comic stories with Disney magic, arrives in May.

From assembling as Earth's Mightiest Heroes to taking a fateful space voyage as Marvel's First Family, Mickey Mouse and the gang have been putting their own spin on foundational Marvel stories this past year in hit DISNEY & MARVEL WHAT IF…? one-shots. The fun continues this May when Donald Duck soars the sky as the Invincible Iron Man in MARVEL & DISNEY: WHAT IF…? DONALD DUCK BECAME IRON MAN #1.

Inspired by the very first appearance of Iron Man in TALES OF SUSPENSE (1959) #39 by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Don Heck and Jack Kirby, MARVEL & DISNEY: WHAT IF…? DONALD DUCK BECAME IRON MAN #1 sees a team of acclaimed Disney comic creators—writer Luca Barbieri and Steve Behling and artist Donald Soffritti—deliver a quack-tastic twist on Tony Stark's groundbreaking origin story.

Packed with all the mischief and hijinks fans expect from a Donald Duck adventure, the one-shot spotlights a rare side of the world’s most famous duck as Donald uses his genius intellect to become a high-flying armored avenger!

FROM FOWL TO SHELL-HEAD!

Donald Duck finds himself in the clutches of the Beagle Boys, forced to build a machine designed to crack into his Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin! Donald has other plans and builds the ultimate suit of armor! Can the fearless fowl foil the plans of the Beagle Boys and make it to his date with Daisy Duck?
