Gyro Gearloose
Few characters in comics history have kept such illustrious company for so long — Gyro Gearloose first whirred to life in 1952, a Golden Age creation who has been delighting readers across an extraordinary 74-year publishing span. Dreamed up by Bill Walsh and Manuel Gonzales, this beloved inventor from the Disney comics universe has shared countless pages with Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and the nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, appearing most frequently in the classic Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories titles. With 171 catalog appearances and six key issues to his name, Gyro is far more than a supporting player — he's a cornerstone of the Disney comics world, the kind of endearing eccentric genius that collectors return to again and again. If you love the rich, warm tradition of Dell and Gemstone-era Disney storytelling, Gyro Gearloose is absolutely worth your time.
