steelcity Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 This is possibly my favorite Dell Giant; an absolute classic! I have a 30 cent version of this issue. Could that be a Canadian issue ? Seems likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 NR: Congrats on getting the CBL in Color! The early Scrooge issues have some of Barks' very best stories. I got my parcel of duck books from Comiclink yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed reading them last night. Especially enjoyed the Maharaja of Howduyustan story "Statuesque Spendthrifts". Now to find some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 My only issue from this series but I would like more. Ken Top copy ... but not a surprise coming from you Ken. Always a delight to see your HG books. The expression on DD's face demonstrates exactly why the funny artists were masters. So few lines to work with and yet they managed such expressiveness. WOW!

Harvey Dude Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I just picked up this white page copy. It is not golden-age but still older than me. It is a very nice looking book with vibrant colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 1st appearance of the nieces April May and June, no? Or at least a minor key other than being a Giant as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 I posted this in the thread that was started about the upcoming Heritage July auction, but it will probably get more reactions here among the Barks cognoscenti: Wow, just saw this OA in the July preview. I think the minds of some Barks fans have just been officially blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 It would be a bit more exciting if it was an earlier piece, of which, unfortunately, there are very few. There's very little in the way of truly spectacular examples of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I've never even seen full pages of his SA work, let alone GA. All Barks is good Barks so it's definitely good thing. I've been following the pages for years so while they don't sell often, they do pop up every year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 All Barks OA is good and rare. Nice piece too. Here's an interesting piece I just acquired. 1931 Adventures of Mickey Mouse with the first reference to Donald Duck. Is it a stretch to think that the duck on the far right is Donald?

I think the minds of some Barks fans have just been officially blown. Thanks for the link - I had not seen this. There are actually something like 150-200 pages from the 1960s known to exist - far more than from the 40s and 50s combined. Carsten Laqua usually has some for sale. On the subject, I wanted to post these scans for Arty since the "Collected Works" is not published in Finland. They show Barks signing 3 originals for Donald Ault around 1970. The WDC&S cover (1948) is the one I purchased from Heritage last Summer. The photos shows the original pen and ink before Bruce Hamilton had Barks add the colors in 1995 (bottom). I'd be impressed if anyone here can name the other two originals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Very nice book but based on the image you show my answer to your question would be "yes", it's a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
