review 1: I'm thrilled that Fantagraphics is reproducing all of Carl Barks's Duck family stories in these handsome, durable hardbound editions. I've tended to remember only Barks' epic adventures, usually featuring Uncle Scrooge, but this series also includes the shorter 10-pagers and one-page gags, which is a good decision because it really brings out the range and depth of Barks' genius. Owing to Disney's policy of not naming the artists who work on their comics, Barks was for too long an unsung master of the form. Disney comic fans over the world already know about the greatness of the 'good Duck artist' and there have been past reprints by more niche publishers; hopefully this series of reprints will help him take his place alongside names like Eisner and Kirby as one of the gre... moreatest comics creators of all time.
review 2: I first discovered Carl Barks when I was in 1st grade, and I've enjoyed his unique storytelling ever since. Barks brought depth and humanity to Disney's characters, and created Uncle Scrooge, a character whose adventures people my age grew familiar with in the '80s cartoon Ducktales (which in turn had adapted many of its episodes from Barks' Scrooge comics from the '50s). I'm very excited that Fantagraphics is reprinting these stories in such attractive editions. Barks has had many fans throughout the years (George Lucas and Steven Spielberg being two of the more famous), and I hope these volumes will remind readers that his name ought to be mentioned with the same admiration people breathe for Herge, Will Eisner, Hal Foster, and Jack Kirby. less
