Guus Geluk

Guus Geluk is a famously lucky character appearing in Dutch Donald Duck comics published by Geïllustreerde Pers, debuting in 1955. His extraordinary, inexplicable good fortune contrasts humorously with Donald Duck's perpetual bad luck.

Born from the pen of the legendary Carl Barks in 1955, Guus Geluk is a Golden Age creation with remarkable staying power — 103 catalog appearances spanning nearly seven decades speak to a character who clearly resonated deeply with readers. Published by Geïllustreerde Pers, this Dutch-market fixture has kept lively company with the likes of Kwik, Kwek, Kwak, Katrien Duck, and the great Oom Dagobert Duck across the pages of Donald Duck, making for some wonderfully rich ensemble adventures. With two key collector issues to their name and a publishing run stretching from 1955 all the way to 2024, Guus Geluk is proof that a Barks-born character, even one rooted in a specific comics tradition, can endure across generations and remain genuinely worth seeking out.
