There’s an old Carl Barks comic with Gladstone in it which opens with: “if this was a fairytale, it would probably start like this; Once upon a time there was a Great King of Luck…” or something along those lines. It’s such an unusual intro and I always thought that was a cute idea- Gladstone being a lonely king or prince of luck, but what if one day a ‘wicked’ witch came to the kingdom to shake things up… and then he wasn’t quite so lucky, or so lonely, ever after?
