Besides being all Barks I really love the cover and the splash page setting the mood. Some really nice work. I have long ago come to view Mummy's Ring as the first true Barks four color. FC9 doesn't feel like Barks to me when I read it so when the time came I bought a 29 instead of a 9. I feel like that Barks flavor got lost in the team approach of the FC9 story. Of course, I'd love to have FC9 too one day, but the magic those duck stories would come to have is much more evident in 29 IMO.

She prefers Mummy's Ring by far to Pirates Gold. I think Mummy's Ring is pure barks while Pirate's Gold is a collaboration between Bob Karp, Barks, Hannah, and other Disney animators. Has certain Barks' touches but you can feel or see other influences on the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DavideD Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 I see it's the right moment to share my last 2 books. They both have some restauration, as color touch mainly, but they both look nice. The FC 9 stays very flat and brilliant, while FC 29 shows a bit more the age. However, I'm so happy for having got them and together with FC 9 I also made a new friend (the seller!). tth2, Robot Man, Jasonmorris1000000 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Dell Giant books are some serious fun. I picked up a bunch of them at flea markets as a kid for nickels and dimes. They were all beat up but I still loved reading them. Every now and then you would come across a Barks tale which was always a bonus. If not there might be some old reprints that were fun to read or some current stories from the fifties that were well done. jimbo_7071 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 That seems like a big price for a raw copy… DavideD and OtherEric 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel lucky I've got my copy of "Bubble Pipe" years ago, when these crazy prices around Ducks were not there. However, 4K+ for such a copy looks not justified to me. Still, historically it's an important one (first DD and first comic with Walt Disney on cover, although it just reprints 1936-37 strips), so its value may probably go up little by little. BTW, one of my all-time favorite covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early Barks issues are nice but there are some pretty good stories in the later Duck comics as well. OtherEric and tth2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are several that are cover to cover Carl Barks stories. Well worth picking up especially cheap! I purchased Ghost Morgan's Treasure long before I found a FC 9. tth2 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with some favorites being: Ancient Persia - great adventure Christmas for Shacktown - every kid should read this at the holidays Golden Helmet - I still quote some of the fake Latin and people still buy it!

AJD Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 My latest duck and the earliest book I have in this long running Australian series. This is #6 of a series that ran to #699. Only the first 7 were WDGC (there was a WDC series running in parallel) - after that it became more like the Four Color series with a wide range of Disney titles. 50YrsCollctngCmcs and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
