Ducks Rocketing to Safety

The Comic Museum Erlangen is presenting an exhibition titled "Enten, die sich in Raketen retten" offering a deep dive into my duck-related work. And not only that. But the duck and rockets bias is undeniable. Hence the title, which in English roughly translates to "Ducks Rocketing to Safety".

The exhibition runs from June 3rd to July 31st, 2026, coinciding with the opening of the International Comic Salon Erlangen, where there will also be a panel about the exhibition.

More information will follow shortly. This is just to warm up the rocket engines.

Rocket: "ACME Meets Carl Barks meets Franquin", a parody on Donald Duck's iconic 313, equipped with things from the ACME warehouse and inspired by Andre Franquin's vehicle design artistry.
