THE BEAGLE BOYS

For some reason, almost all of the characters created by the legendary Carl Barks got their own solo titles at some point. As unlikely as it seems, the Beagle Boys even got their own title that ran for forty-seven issues over the course of fifteen years (it's schedule was very irregular).

This story features one of the few other characters that didn't have his own book: Gladstone Gander.

I highly doubt that the character's name was coincidental. By 1971, Richie Rich was Harvey's top selling title. Perhaps the writer just got tired of using Uncle Scrooge??
