The comic based on the cartoon was an immense success for Disney and the series lasted for approximately 137 issues before finally calling it quits. One issue, however, in particular stood out in my mind and that was Issue 100. The heads at Disney Comics wanted to do something special to commemorate the hundredth issue of the series, so they decided to do something provocative, namely, kill off one of the main characters. Well, not just any character. They wanted to kill off Launchpad McQuack.

Launchpad was always a sort of disposable character in the cartoon and the comic. He didn't contribute much to the story and not many more stories could be generated around the character, considering he already had a long run on the other Disney cartoon, "Ducktales".

However, as brave and bold Disney execs usually are, they decided to put it up to a vote. In an issue of "Disney Adventures" (the one with Blossom on the cover), they held a poll to see if they should kill Launchpad or not in the hundredth issue of "Darkwing Duck". A fierce and loyal fan of Launchpad, I remember eagerly and carefully cutting out the form with my bony childish hands and voting defiantly "No". There's no way they were killing off such a great character, I thought.

I was wrong. Come the hundredth issue, I saw the cynical and sickening things democracy can wreak on a human civilization. They killed Launchpad. The teeming armies of unwashed kiddies had spoken. They voted overwhelmingly to kill Darkwing's trusty sidekick. His death was a bit of a dramatic one, admittedly. He was killed by an exploding "Mr. Banana Brain" left by Darkwing's arch nemesis "Quackerjack". I remember holding the issue in my hands, trembling with anger. I threw the comic into the trash bin but the page was seared, seared into my mind.

Above is my reproduction of that page. I've drawn it from memory and, I must say, it's been a bit therapeutic for me. I still can't believe they killed such a lovable character.

A real shame.

ok,is it real, a joke or what?
btw,im going to fave it,no mater if it is "cannon" or dont...is a really good comic

a really good joke...
thanks scroodude

It's definitely a joke?don't worry, Roger.

Could any of you imagine having any Disney hero die in a Disney story? I can't really think of too many non-heroes dying in a Disney story. Bambi's mother is the only non-villain I can think of. Even the wicked queen/witch in Snow White wasn't SEEN to die. She just fell over a cliff. I know that times are more modern now. But it is ust to difficult to believe that Disney would have allowed Launchpad to die. They might want to resurrect Ducktales or Darkwing Duck in some form in the future. Then, they would have to come up with some excuse as to why it looked like he died , but he really didn't (like the weak explanation of the resurrection (denial of his death) of Sherlock Holmes).
It was very clear that it had to be a joke.

Quote from user: ScroodudeActually, I believe several Disney protagonists have had temporary deaths, i.e. Scrooge in "The New Laird of Castle McDuck" part of "The Life and Times." Goofy I think temporarily died in a "House of Mouse" episode. Darkwing Duck, for example, though that turned out to be a dream. He also briefly went to Hell in one other episode.
the epi wen goofy "died" is "how to haunt a house",and donald die at the end too
he, at leats is not like dragon ball :)
(i like DB, but even as a kid the idea of wishing for someone to be alive again was stupid to me)

Robb Mufasa from The Lion King died in the original movie.

Well that is true.

Scrooge's father dies in Life and Times. It's really dramatic scene, well constructed and still quite serene and even beautiful.
In Dangerous Disguise the spy who looks like Donald jumps through the window and obviously kills himself. On the last page: "Bruto will send me to the salt mines. Good by cruel world!", he shouts.
