What are comics if not preliminary storyboards designed to provide the creators with a desperate escape from the impoverished comic book industry and into the warm arms of a sweet TV or movie deal. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense for comic book publisher Dark Horse to publish some TV artbooks, including The Art of Ducktales, announced today. For what is the comic book industry if not one giant snake eating its own tail?
