Description: Walt Disney's Donald Duck: 'the Old Castle's Secret' by Carl Barks, Gary Groth Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Donald and his nephews face high-tech Wild West villainy and much more in this new collection, which includes such OextrasO as "In Darkest Africa," unreleased for decades. Publisher Description With this volume, "The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library" loops back to Barkss earlier days, collecting the entirety of Barkss (astounding) 1948 output. The title story, "The Old Castles Secret," is notable not just for being the first full-length 32-page adventure instigated by Scrooge McDuck (in his second-ever appearance), but for featuring some of Barkss spookiest, lushest settings in old Clan McDuck castle of Dismal Downs. The other long story, "The Sheriff of Bullet Valley," plunks Donald and the nephews in the Wild West, with Donald as an overconfident deputy having to deal with some high-tech rustlers. The book also includes the less-known "In Darkest Africa," originally published in a giveaway and unreleased for decades. This volume also features an even 10 of Barkss dynamic "Walt Disneys Comics and Stories" 10-pagers, including "Wintertime Wager" (the first appearance of a not-yet-lucky-but-still-obnoxious Gladstone Gander); "Spoil the Rod" (in which the exquisitely named educational professor Pulpheart Clabberhead is brought in to help tame the nephews); "Rocket Race to the Moon" (a rare full-on adventure--interplanetary, no less--in the short form); "Gladstone Returns" and "Links Highjinks" (two more Gladstone yarns); and five more stories... plus a half-dozen hilarious one-page gags. Of course, once again all the stories have been shot from crisp originals, then re-colored (and printed) to match, for the first time since their original release over 60 years ago, the colorful yet soft hues of the originals--and of course the book is rounded off with essays about Barks, the Ducks, and these specific stories by Barks experts from all over the world. Author Biography Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barkss most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a "Disney Legend," a special award created by Disney "to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic." He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world. Gary Groth is the co-founder of The Comics Journal and Fantagraphics Books. He lives in Seattle.
