History ComicBook / DuckTales

!!Tropes from the Disney Comics version

** Also from the Flabberge story, Scrooge, upset over a burglar escaping with a clue, says, "Film/TheLadyVanishes, with our only egg clue."

* YouJustHadToSayIt: At the end of "The Littlest Gizmoduck", Fenton picks up a piece of the makeshift Gizmosuit the nephews and webby made and asks who's going to wear it for an upcoming school event. The last panel shows Webby putting the Gizmosuit on Fenton, who laments, "When will I learn to keep my big beak shut?"

* SeriesContinuityError: The authors' attempts to tie the ''ComicBook/DisneyDuckComicsUniverse'' and the "[=DuckTales=]" continuity together did not always go so well. For instance, in the opening, Webby has to be told how Scrooge got the dinosaur in his zoo; in the episode that covered this, Scrooge didn't wind up taking the dinosaur home and Webby was along on the adventure, which would have removed the need to explain to her.

* ShoutOut: In one comic, Donald says, "[[Film/{{Casablanca}} With all the ships at sea, he had to be on the one caught speeding by mine.]]"

* TripleShifter: {{Implied|Trope}}. Launchpad continually drops references to his other life in St. Canard while he's with Scrooge and his family, which seemingly indicates that he skips back and forth between the two cities to keep up with both of his "families."

* WhileYouWereInDiapers: Scrooge tells one of the Beagle Boys that, "I learned to fence while you were still crawling in diapers!"

* IKnowKungFu: When Camille Leon, posing as Fulla Pep, incites the natives against the members of the [=McDuck=] household, Launchpad instructs the kids to get to safety as he's going to apply his "Duck Kwan Do" skills on the attackers. Webby obeys; the nephews join Launchpad in attacking the Beagle Boys. (The fighting style looked more like a conventional brawl than anything martial-art-like.)

* MythologyGag: In the first issue, when Scrooge [=McDuck=] shows Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby his collected treasures, he says that he will show them his "life and times", which is a reference to the comic saga ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck''.

* DamselInDistress: Webby spends a lot of "Scrooge's Quest" getting in trouble.

* AnkleDrag: Huey grabs hold of Launchpad's ankle when he's climbing out of Laird's lair. Launchpad thinks a troll has grabbed him.
* AshFace: Doofus gets covered in ash from an explosion during "The Once and Future Warlock."

* ComplainingAboutRescuesYouDontLike: Overlaps with DeathByMaterialism; in the "Curse of Flabbergé" story, Scrooge loudly protests Launchpad grabbing him away from a diamond he was hunting even though the area was becoming dangerously electrified.

** In "Down and Out, But Not in Duckburg", Scrooge tries to go into a place called "Alice's Restaurant", which shares its name with a protest song by Arlo Guthrie.

** During the "Curse of Flabbergé" story, Launchpad mentions "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E24MeritTimeAdventure the sea monster that ate [Scrooge's] ice cream.]]"

* CoversAlwaysSpoil: All the way in the saga "The Gold Oddisey", specially notorious in issues 9 and 10, whose covers end as the very first scenes of issues 10 and 11 respectively.

* IKnowThatYouKnow: Webby asks Scrooge why he's taking a boat instead of a submarine like last time. Scrooge answers that his competitor most likely expects he'll be going in a submarine, so he's going in a boat instead.

* {{Pun}}: Scrooge calls Webby "a chick off the old block."
