The series was initially intended to launch in 1987 as a tie-in to the forthcoming ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' television series. The focus was to be on the works of [[Carl Barks]] and other Disney comics creators that inspired the series, not necessarily original works produced in response to the series. Shortly before publication of the first issue, however, Gladstone Publishing and the Walt Disney Company decided to drop the ''DuckTales'' name and re-brand the series ''Uncle Scrooge Adventures'', in the same format as its intended sister title, ''[[Donald Duck Adventures]]''. 

Because of the last minute of the nature of the change, however, promotional articles using the ''DuckTales'' title could not be altered, even in the first issue of ''Uncle Scrooge Adventures'' itself. <ref>{{cite journal|title=Editor's note|journal=Uncle Scrooge Adventures|year=1987|issue=1}}</ref> Gladstone would eventually publish a thirteen issue ''DuckTales'' series of their own from 1988 through 1990, featuring a mixture of classic Uncle Scrooge stories and newly commissioned television tie-ins.<ref>{{cite web|title=USA: Ducktales|url=http://coa.inducks.org/publication.php?c=us/DT|work=I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|access-date=17 February 2013}}</ref>
