☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Carl Barks' Gyro Gearloose stories and fillers from the 1950s and 1960s, showcasing the bumbling inventor's misadventures in Duckburg. Part of Gladstone's color library series, it presents the strips in their original sequential order with restored artwork.
In "That Small Feeling," Carl Barks delivers another delightfully whimsical tale from his legendary library, spotlighting Gyro Gearloose as he’s unexpectedly pressured into creating a tree-altering serum—despite his quiet desire to simply go fishing. With Barks’ signature blend of humor and heart, and Barry Englin’s vibrant colors bringing the absurdity to life, this 1993 classic captures the charm of a beloved inventor caught in a whirlwind of civic expectations. The cover, also by Barks, perfectly encapsulates the story’s lighthearted tension.
Gyro Gearloose is roped into a frantic invention spree when the picky busybodies of Duckburg demand a serum to reshape the town’s trees—despite his only wish being to escape to a quiet spot by the water. With his usual brilliance under pressure, Gyro must juggle their ever-changing demands while trying to keep his focus on the one thing he truly wants: a peaceful day of fishing.
In a clever twist on brains versus brawn, Gyro Gearloose finds himself outmatched when a Beagle Boy manipulates him into boosting his intelligence—only to face a new challenge when he responds by amplifying his physical strength. With Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Uncle Scrooge watching the chaos unfold, Gyro must navigate the unexpected consequences of his own invention, while Horace Horsecollar makes a brief cameo in the mayhem.
