AJD Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Now that's a Barks duck. Buettner looks right for the 291 cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooroldman Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 One of my favorites, and a tough book to find in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I really like the cover of Four Color 291 as well. The green shade is really attractive on a well preserved copy. But I'm pretty sure that isn't a Barks cover. Doesn't look at all like his Donald to me. I feel so dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ltpink2002 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Book looks great but the CGC case has some weird distortion to it. No water stains on book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 When I read "The Magic Hour Glass" story recently, it struck me how different the Arabic world was perceived in 1950 compared to today. The nomadic lifestyle reflected in the story must seem absurdly outdated to a youtube kid whose reference frame probably is built up watching videos like . Comparing to political situation today, there's something charmingly naive about the world view reflected in Barks stories. "The Magic Hour Glass" also made me think of the "Pipeline to Danger" story (Uncle Scrooge 30) which laments the cultural and environmental changes brought on by the oil industry. When I watch the evening news today, I could only wish that those were the problems we were faced with in 2014. One thing I like about old comics is that they can remind you how people used to see the world very differently from the way we take for granted.

That's interesting that you mention the non gloss because, when I got it, I wondered if it was supossed to be like that or if it had just worn away. I actually quite like it, too. Gotta get FC 386 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
