Interpretation Concering Books Carl Barks' Greatest Ducktales Stories, Volume 1 (Carl Barks' Greatest Ducktales Stories #1)
First of two collections of Uncle Scrooge stories by Carl Barks, long known only to comic book fans as "the good duck artist," that inspired and were adapted into episodes of Disney's DuckTales cartoon. Not quite a Barks Greatest Hits collection, but pretty darn close. A great place to start for people looking to explore the works of Barks (and if you haven't, you should, as his Scrooge and Donald stories are not only funny, but some of the best all ages adventure comics ever created), as well as anyone who remembers the DuckTales cartoon fondly.Rating Epithetical Books Carl Barks' Greatest Ducktales Stories, Volume 1 (Carl Barks' Greatest Ducktales Stories #1)

And FINALLY my Carl Barks hymen is broken.Okay, that's not entirely true. I got a Barks' Duck story in a FCBD edition a few years back, but this is my first decent-sized chunk of Barks' stories ever.I get it. The stories are imaginative, extremely well illustrated and absolutely charming. The characters are fun and engaging; the adventures are outrageous and fast-paced and twist in all the right ways; and Barks is truly a superb cartoonist. I'll need to pick up vol. 2 now!Carl Barks is who made DuckTales into DuckTales, apparently. It was a hard read--because it's so easy to take his stories for granted. But they were a well-oiled story machine.I couldn't love these stories. I felt like they were too familiar, and I rushed through them. But that's on me. Looney Tunes still feels brilliant--these were just not for me. I'm not sure what my deal was.
Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 August 25, 2000) was an American Disney Studio illustrator and comic book creator, who invented Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961).
Thanks Brian for reminding me of the awesomeness of DuckTales.
Carl Barks is the man.
I found one issue of Uncle Scrooge from my childhood a month or so ago while helping The Folks clean out their basement, and the re-obsession began. Apparently these old Carl Barks comics are seen as great literary art in Europe, and I have no problem understanding why: Basis in myth and fable, a potentially unsympathetic protagonist with frequent but temporary heart-of-gold turnabouts, and the visuals. Mmmmm...The Pattern: total greed and manipulation, raucous adventure, climactic moment of
