It was first published in ''[[Disney comics#Four Color|Four Color Comics]]'' #386 (March 1952), as a [[spin-off (media)|spin-off]] of the popular ''[[Donald Duck (American comic book)|Donald Duck]]'' series and is still presently ongoing. It has been produced under the aegis of several different publishers, including [[Western Publishing]] (initially in association with [[Dell Comics]] and later under its own subsidiary, [[Gold Key Comics]] and their Whitman imprint), [[Gladstone Publishing]], [[Disney Comics (publishing)|Disney Comics]], [[Gemstone Publishing]], [[Boom! Studios]], and [[IDW Publishing]]. The series has mantained the same numbering throughout its life, with IDW Publishing's series resetting to issue #1 alongside a secondary legacy numbering.<ref name="IDW-0115">{{cite web|url=http://www.cbr.com/idw-kicks-off-new-monthly-disney-line-in-april-with-uncle-scrooge-1|title=IDW KICKS OFF NEW MONTHLY DISNEY LINE IN APRIL WITH "UNCLE SCROOGE" #1|author=Stephen Gerding|publisher=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=21 January 2015|access-date=7 September 2022}}</ref> Besides Scrooge and his family, recurring characters include [[Gyro Gearloose]], [[Gladstone Gander]], [[Emily Quackfaster]], and [[Brigitta MacBridge]]. Among the adversaries who make repeat appearances are [[the Beagle Boys]], [[Magica De Spell]], [[John D. Rockerduck]] and [[Flintheart Glomgold]]. ''Uncle Scrooge'' is one of the core titles of the "[[Duck universe]]". Its early issues by famed writer/artist (and creator of Scrooge McDuck) [[Carl Barks]] formed the inspiration for the syndicated television cartoon ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' in the late 1980s. Several stories written by Barks and published in ''Uncle Scrooge'' were adapted as episodes of ''DuckTales''.
