Ducks, Ducks, And More Ducks.... Carl Barks "The Duck Man"! Carl Barks (1901 - 2000), is widely respected as 'The Duck Man'! Why? It was he that invented Duckburg, with Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), The Beagle Boys (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956) and several more! Carl first went to work for Walt Disney Studios as an 'inbetweener' in 1935. (Donald Duck started in 1934.) Carl quit in 1942, but contributed half the artwork to a oneshot Donald Duck comic book printed by Western Publishing that owned Dell Comics. Shortly after that Carl started submitting both art and scripts to Dell and worked on the Duck Family for the next three decades! Today, those Carl Barks issues are highly prized for collectibility, and the later issues that reprinted those issue are also valued for their great reading value. Currently we have several of Carl Barks issues in stock as well as other Disney, Gladstone, Gold Key and Dell Comics with several 'watchers' on each listing. So I am blogging this topic to bring more attention to those Bark issues before they are gone! BTW, we have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Thanks for reading this post today and please join us again! Michael |
One of the best photos I have seen of Carl Barks, ("The Good Duck Artist"), was one that was published by Alan Light. Alan started the publication that is now known as "The Comics Buyer's Guide", (CBG).
