Good break down

I know these paintings good as any fine art. I got some of them at the cover of my old comic books.

This man contributed to a good childhood ^_^. So many great stories that I loved and still does. His was always the best.

Carl Barks and Jack Kirby are my two all time favorite comic book artists and creators.

I hope the new Ducktales show, leads to an interest in stuff like this

I grew up in the eighties, reading duck comics, ages after Carl Barks had retired. It's funny that as young as 7 or 8 I already discovered that there were several versions of duck characters, and one version was far better than all the others.... The Good Duck artists still got recognized by new generations of children, long before we ever learned his name..... I also love that the fifties stories still didn't feel outdated in the eighties.. sure the cars and trains were a bit old, but in general the world still was very believable! An amazing feat!

I read Barks" stories as a kid in the 1970"s. However, DuckTales in 1987 renewed my love of Donald. and Scrooge!

I love superhero comics, but I also love Barks"and Rosa"s work.

I love this man. The reprints of his stories by Gladstone publishing in the late 80's kindled by fondness for writing and art -- which shaped my career and life today. He's a legend. And he is far less well-known that what is merited. When you've invented a character like Uncle Scrooge and you're the primary influence for people like Spielberg and Lucas, you know you're more than a muse -- you're a part of literary history.

People ask me why i like so much Donald Duck cartoons? ,Is not true> I only like the cartoons of Carl Barks.(till the sixties) After that it was to childness.

Scrooge McDuck is the greatest character ever created. In any medium. Ever. Forever. Thank you Carl Barks!

GENIUS

we need carl barks biography movie, starting tom hanks as carl

sameone ask me 1. who you favorite comic writer 2. who you favorite comic artist. i have one answer. ...

He was hired by Disney at 33, invented Scrooge McDuck at 46 ... and had still 20 years ahead to create extraordinary stories that would inspire Don Rosa's glorious oeuvre .... I love stories about late bloomers. I'm 33 myself with so many deceived dreams and a talent for drawing and writing ... maybe this should help me to pull myself together and find the proper path to my life.

99 years is pretty tough... even for the creator of comics i loved...

carl is my favourte artist :3

Holy crap! The creator of Scrooge McDuck grew up in my homestate! Dang I love it here!!

Carl Barks and Don Rosa are my favourite comic artists ever.

I love Don Rosa :)

@Michaletosjr I agree. But although he is not as well known, he is celebrated as being to Mickey what Barks was to the Duck family.

Fantastic. Unca Carl was a genius, both in terms of writing and illustrating. His work is what drove me to eventually become a writer myself. We are blessed to have artists like Don Rosa who have been able to carry on his legacy and quality. It's a shame Mr. Rosa is not more appreciated.

Carl Barks made Donald. I think he was a genius!!!!

@akhicks You're welcome! :)

@ThePaganSun Very interesting, thanks for letting me know!

@akhicks Sorry, I know this post is old. But, I thought you might like to have things cleared up anyway. Carl Barks didn't create Huey, Dewey and Louie. Al Taliaferro did. But, Barks was the one who turned them from mostly brats into Junior Woodchucks which is why their picture appears in scout uniform.

r.i.p uncle carl...

Why would april, may and june get billing over huey, dewey and louie ("many others..."), the nephews who are the crux of so many of cb's stories? That's just weird.

Carl Barks: 99 years of pure awesomeness

Un grande

Carl Barks a true genius. I wanna get more of his original comics (no reprints) I only have the "Secret of Horticia" Donald Duck #46 (1956)

barks is the greatest comicbook artist in history (or a close second to jack kirby....) thanks for posting this - awesome, awesome stuff

My all time favourite is The Phantom of Notre Duck and my favourite 10 pager is the story where the boys try to get some money off Unca Donald by pretending to be echoes.

@charmy97 There's a lot to choose from. But I think Ghost of the Grotto, Vacation Time (1950), The Old Castle's Secret, Christmas for Shacktown and Only a Poor Old Man would be my Top 5.

Simply the best! Thanks for all the joy you have bought to me and millions of others! Hope things are going well for you up in Duckburg Mr. Barks!

He was the best! Hope things are going well for you in Ducksburg bud!

Epic.

"I like some of them." what a sweetheart he was

They should make a dokumentry about Carl Barks. Like the way they made the dokumentry of Ub Iwerks.

awesome !

Carl Barks, Will Eisner, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Stan Sakai, Bill Watterson, Chris Claremont and Frank Miller are my favorite comic book writers. And of all them, Carl is my absolute favorite.

When is this documentary from?
