A series of comics based on the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' animated series (itself based on the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse). The stories had a similar plot to the original cartoon, with Scrooge and nephews embarking on adventures or causing trouble in Duckburg, along with McDuck household, Launchpad, Gyro Gearloose, Mrs Beakley and the butler, Duckworth.

There were three series of comic books made by three publishers; the first was Gladstone Publishing, from 1988 to 1990(when the show was still on air), which contained some adaptations of episodes such as Armstrong and Jungle Duck.

* LaserGuidedKarma:
** In one story, Flintheart Glomgold wins first pickings at a golden hill and a million dollars from Scrooge by dosing the native king to whom it belongs and Launchpad with a pollen that causes sneezing for weeks. It turns out that the golden color of the hill comes from the flowers that grow on it. Flintheart starts sneezing and Scrooge gleefully plans on selling the remainder of the anti-sneezing medication back to him.
** In one part of the ''Scrooge's Quest'' arc, the poachers the ducks are pursuing throw Launchpad out of an airplane in midflight. They realize too late that Launchpad had grabbed their loot and they just threw ''it'' out as well.
