BTW, this "poster" featuring the cast of season 1 was pencilled by Daan Jippes.
I have to admit that I never was a fan of the show. Actually I don't like it or the comic book stories based on it at all. The idea of doing an aventure show based on Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge is great, but the result just wasn't my cup of tea.
The best part of Duck Tales was the covers Daan Jippes did for the Gladstone comic books. I tried to read the comic book stories and found them just ... well ... eh ... the less I say about them the better. But I still bought the issues because of the cover art. Here you see what was supposed to be the cover to the first issue of Duck Tales in August 1987. (Taken from an ad that ran in the summer issues of Gladstones titles.)
However, the Duck Tales title was pushed back. Instead this cover graced Uncle Scrooge Adventures #1. (Image below taken from Coverbrowser.)

Estimado Joakim, creo que esos comics ( no las portadas) se hicieron aquí en Argentina con los dibujantes del estudio de Jaime Diaz, si mal no recuerdo los dibujos estuvieron a cargo de los hermanos Saavedra y el entintado de Carlos Paura, estoy casi seguro pues en esa época entintaba algunas páginas, si busco en mi archivo seguro encuentre fotocopias de algunas de esas páginas.
Como siempre un placer pasar por aquí, te envío un fuerte abrazo.
Thanks, Fabian!
Yes, those stories were drawn in Argentina. At least the earliest ones.
(My problem with those stories, and the tv shows is mainly that the characters personalities are so far from the earlier versions. They could easily have been substituted with entirely new characters. And while Donald indeed was substituted with Launchpad, we still had Scrooge and the kids looking like Scrooge and the kids but behaving like different characters.)
¡Estoy absolutamente de a cuerdo con tigo! En estos trabajos nunca se tuvo en cuenta el espíritu de la serie de patos, claramente Duck Tales fueron un producto televisivo que funcionó por aquellos tiempos, en cambio las series clásicas de Patos ha quedado intacta con esas maravillosas historias de Carl Barks, incluso las que se producen actualmente en los paises nordicos, poseo algunas revistas y aunque son dificiles para mi por su idioma, veo que conservan ese espíritu.
