Many people and of course many innocent children have not even enough to eat, not to even speak of anything for Christmas. Carl Barks, who often felt the need to write stories about important issues, drew "A Christmas for Shacktown" at a time when many children and adults in America could not afford much. If you haven't read: "A Christmas for Shacktown" (January 1952, OS 367), you can get a nice copy from Amazon.com for only $5.95.
	Uncle Scrooge Vs. Flintheart Glomgold : The Second Richest Duck (Gladstone Giant Album Comic Series, No. 4) (Gladstone Giant Comic Album Ser. : No. 4): This excellent comic album from Gladstone contains the following masterpieces: Uncle Scrooge in "The Second-Richest Duck" written and drawn by Carl Barks, first published in US#12, 1956. Uncle Scrooge in "The Money Champ" written and drawn by Carl Barks, first published in US#27, 1958. Uncle Scrooge in "So Far and No Safari" written and drawn by Carl Barks, first published in US#61, 1965.

	Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge & Donald Duck: The Sunken City (Gladstone Giant Comic Album Series, No. 2): This comic book album includes the great classic "The Sunken City" which has inspired many other artists. It is one of Barks' great adventure tales that let you dream of different worlds. It is as great as some of the best Hollywood adventure movies of the past and it is even more funny than most. The second story is titled "Luck of the North" and it takes the reader to the place where Uncle Scrooge made his first money. This story is an example where Barks uses the idea of the American Dream to give his stories a deeper meaning: The ideal versus the reality are an ever present example in his tales. The phantastic and exaggerated nature of Scrooge's past make it an unlikely experience and when we consider that Uncle Scrooge never got happy but is always afraid of someone trying to steal his money it must be seen as the dark side of American idealism and naivite. This book sells for an amazing $8.95.
	Walt Disney's Donald Duck: The Terror of the River (Gladstone Comic Album Series, No. 2): GOOD CLASSIC DONALD DUCK STORIES !, July 9, 2002 Reviewer: Kathrine Howard (see more about me) from Day in Modoc County, California This is a good Donald Duck comic album. It's first and main story is called the Terror of the River and is about Donald and his nephews trying to fend off a pursuing "Sea Serpent" from their house boat in the Mississippi River. I thought this was a very good story. The second story is about Donald's misadventures trying to train seals when him and his nephews have a day at the beach.

Secondary Literature:

	Carl Barks - Conversations by  Donald Ault: This insightful collection of interviews gives the reader a great view at the master and his art. How did he conceive of his stories and how were they brought to light? What gave him inspiration despite the meagre reward? These interviews were made after the good artist was discovered and they were published before in numerous fan magazines. This book also marks another step in the academic analysis of an important cultural aspect of American pop art of the war years and the post war era. This book is a must own for any Barks fan. I can only recommend it to anyone who wants to know more and also get some behind-the-scenes information. This book comes at a discount price of only $13.60 (originally priced at $ 20!).
	Carl Barks And the Disney Comic Book: Unmasking the Myth of Modernity by Thomas Andrae For over twenty-five years, Disney artist Carl Barks (1901–2000) created some of the most brilliant and funny stories in comic books. Gifted and prolific, he was the author of over 500 tales in the most popular comic books of all time. Although he was never allowed to sign his name and worked in anonymity, Barks’s unique artistic style and storytelling were immediately evident to all his readers. Barks created the town of Duckburg, and a cast of characters that included Donald Duck’s fabulously wealthy Uncle Scrooge, the lucky loafer Gladstone Gander, the daffy inventor Gyro Gearloose, the rougish crooks the Beagle Boys, and the Italian sorceress Magica de Spell. Carl Barks and the Disney Comic Book: Unmasking the Myth of Modernity is the first critical study of Barks’s work in English. From a cultural studies perspective, the author analyzes all phases of Barks’s career from his work in animation to his post-retirement years writing the Junior Woodchucks stories. Andrae argues that Barks’s oeuvre presents a vision strikingly different from the Disney ethos. Barks’s central theme is a critique of modernity. His tales offer a mordant satire of Western imperialism and America’s obsession with wealth, success, consumerism, and technological mastery, offering one of the few communal, ecological visions in popular culture. Although a talented visual artist, Barks was also one of America’s greatest storytellers and, Andrae contends, lifted the comic book form to the level of great literature. A must own for only $14.20
