DuckTales (Gladstone Publishing)

The DuckTales comic book published by Gladstone Publishing was the first of three different comic books based on the series of the same name. It ran for thirteen issues from August 1988 to March 1990, after which it was replaced by the DuckTales comic book published by Disney Comics.

Each issue of Gladstone's DuckTales comic featured at least one story based specifically in the show's continuity, and many issues also contained reprints of older Uncle Scrooge stories written and drawn by Carl Barks. The first two issues contained adaptations of the episodes "Armstrong" and "Jungle Duck", with reprints of two Barks stories that had been adapted into DuckTales episodes, "Lost Crown of Genghis Khan" and "The Giant Robot Robbers".

From issue 3 to issue 12, the comic also included a guide listing featuring descriptions of every episode from the show's first two seasons, listed in production order, with an appendix listing which episodes were adaptations of Carl Barks stories.
