Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge

From 1953 to 1962, Dell's Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge spun the world’s richest duck into thirty-six issues of globe-trotting treasure hunts and comedic calamity. While Carl Barks—the defining writer and artist on the series—crafted the character's signature blend of miserly cunning and heartfelt adventure, he was joined by regular contributors like Al Koch, Chase Craig, and Pete Alvarado. The series introduced Gyro Gearloose as a recurring inventor, cementing Scrooge’s supporting cast and establishing the template for the character’s solo exploits. It remains a cornerstone of Disney comics, showcasing Barks’ masterful storytelling and the enduring appeal of a penny-pinching duck.
