The series premiered in
1952.
Disney created two major
funny animal universes of great significance -
the duck universe and the mouse universe. They
both appear in several types of media.
A primary character of the duck universe is Gyro
Gearloose, who lives in Duckburg where he
functions as a brilliant inventor. At his side he
sometimes has a small metal stickman normally
referred to as Little Helper.
The stories were/are written by an
overwhelming number of artists. Examples: Carl
Barks (1901-2000), Carl Robert Fallberg (1915-1996),
Donald 'Don' Ragnvald Christensen (1916-2006),
Victor 'Vic' Lockman (1927-), Jan Kruse (1946-),
Frank Jonker (1965-).
