50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I think I only read one issue of Groo and it didn't grab me! Anyone a fan of Tintin or Asterix? Those two seem more akin to Barks. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two seem more akin to Barks. Huge fan of Asterix, keep meaning to go back and read Tintin in order. I read a lot of the Tintin books way back in grade school, but all out of order. Fun fact: Goscinny shared a studio with Harvey Kurtzman in the late 40's. 50YrsCollctngCmcs and AJD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two seem more akin to Barks. Try another. It’s very good. Start at the early issues. Love Asterix. Read them all in the day when I lived in Europe and again in English when I moved to Canada. 50YrsCollctngCmcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Kurtzman biography, but I don't recall that. I'll have to look at that again. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two seem more akin to Barks. Love Astrix although I have none. Comic store I worked at back in the early 90s got some magazine size Astrix books in. They were fun. I've never collected magazine size books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) Patrick Block is an underrated Duck artist. Don't see him mentioned very often. Click Spoiler to see the Groo book. Ignore if you do not wish to bask in the cheese dip. Spoiler Edited October 8 by Badger mlansdown, tth2, OtherEric and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Pat at a San Diego Comic Con years ago; nice guy. I also bought my current copy of Four Color 92 - Pinocchio from him. I wonder is he still actively drawing Duck books?

When I did a google search on the stamped name, I got a lot of search results that I was definitely not interested in! Here's my copy I got years ago ...

Yes, an unfortunate name but apparently people's minds were cleaner back then as he was proud enough to have a stamp made and use it all over the cover!!

OtherEric Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 My copy, along with another Walt Kelly movie comic with Donald. One of the things I love about the Pinocchio comic is that Kelly actually worked on the movie as well as doing the adaptation, having worked on the Monstro sequence.

jimjum12 Posted Wednesday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:58 PM I don't believe I posted this one in it's now raw state. This one is a favorite. I'd always wanted a full Barks FC set but never made it.

Funny I was thinking just this morning that I had achieved the full Barks FC run with the exception of FC #9. I'm not in a rush to get one of those; it should be half price as it's only half Barks anyway!! Bronty and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
