The Complete Carl Barks Index
Author: Kim Weston
language: en
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
Release Date: 2016-09-30
This book a comprehensive index and concordance of Carl Barks' comic book work. From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books, including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. So beloved and important was Carl Barks' work that from 1983 to 1990, Another Rainbow Publishing, founded by Bruce Hamilton, published The Carl Barks Library in 30 deluxe hardcover volumes reprinting all of Barks' Disney comic book work and as much other Disney related drawings and art Barks was involved with as possible. In addition to comic book work, it includes paintings, storyboard and animation drawings, model sheets, and drawings for fans, among other things. The Complete Carl Barks Index has over 29,000 lines of data in the Index. The index, which was always intended to cover all of Barks' Disney comics as published in the original comic books and as reprinted, or in some cases first printed, in The Carl Barks Library, was also expanded to include Barks' non-Disney comics and also, later, Disney comics not included in The Carl Barks Library, and not even published until after The Carl Barks Library had been completed. There is even Barks comic book work first published after Barks' death, including work that has not yet been published in the USA or even in English. This has led to some additional material being added to the index as late as 2016. All of that is included in the Index. Information has also been included to make the Index useful even with other reprints in addition to the original comic books and the The Carl Barks Library. Each data entry includes reference to the original USA comic book publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers. It also includes reference to The Carl Barks Library publication including set, volume, and page reference, as well as submission dates, based on Carl Barks' personal work records. Just about any question you might ask about Carl Barks' work, if you can think of it, and it is included in Barks' opus, you can probably find it and all references to it. Want to find every depiction of a cigarette in Barks' comics or a listing of every half page display panel and other large sized panels? It's there. What really was the first appearance of the money bin or its precursors, or the worry room, or Gladstone's luck, every appearance of the Beagle Boys, all incarnations of Barks' pig villain characters, what stories have a camel in them, what Barney Bear and Benny Burro story was rewritten as an Uncle Scrooge story, what other Barks stories were rewritten years or decades later? Where does that huge panel of a money dam bursting with gazillions of dollars flowing forth appear? It's all there in the Index. There are also a dozen chapters of introduction, historical, and background material, topics of special interest, and a Foreword by Michael Barrier. There is also a SPECIAL EDITION version of this book that has 19 illustrations spread over 13 interior pages in two chapters in color instead of black and white. It has a price $25 higher due to the high price of print-on-demand color printing. There are no other interior differences between the two versions of the book. The price of the SPECIAL EDITION is by $59.95; the regular edition price is $34.95. There is also a 548 page LARGE PRINT INDEX EDITION priced at $39.95 in which the Index portion of the book is printed in 9-point type in a single column per page instead of double columns of 7-point type; the remainder of the book is identical to the regular 304 page edition.
The Carl Barks Index Second Edition LARGE PRINT EDITION
The Carl Barks Index Second Edition is a comprehensive index and concordance of Carl Barks' Disney comic book work created from late 1946 to early 1958 as published by Fantagraphics Books in 15 volumes so far. It updates an earlier edition that covered only the first 10 books in the Fantagraphics series, The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library. From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books, including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. Fantagraphics Books is now about halfway through a 15+ year project reprinting that work in an acclaimed series of mass market hardcover books in color. These books include what is generally considered to be the high point in creativity and quality of writing and drawing in Barks' career as a comic book writer and artist plus many excellent stories before and after. *******With almost 9500 data entries in the index, each entry includes book volume and page numbers for the Fantagraphics book reprinting as well as references to all of the original USA comic book first publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers, plus the date of creation based on Carl Barks' personal work records. Just about any question you might want to ask about Carl Barks' work-if you can think of it-you can probably find it and all references to it. Want to find every depiction of a cigar in Barks' comics? It's there. What really was the first appearance of the money bin, or its precursors, or the worry room, or Gladstone, or his luck, the Beagle Boys, Barks' pig villain characters; what stories were rewritten years or decades later? Where does that huge panel of a money dam bursting with gazillions of dollars flowing forth appear? It's all there.*******The Index covers the contents of volumes 5-19 in the series, all of the books that were in print by September, 2018, as well as the original printings of the same stories in comic books. *******The book is available in a regular edition and a LARGE PRINT edition. Both versions include the same content but the LARGE PRINT version has about twice as many pages and larger print in the Index portion of the book, 170 vs. 92 pages for the regular edition.

Other than 2 black and white illustrations, there are no other illustrations in the book. As a consequence, print-on-demand copies cost $18 extra to print each book in color. Such are the economics of print-on-demand publication. They are offered for sale at an introductory price $15 higher than the regular edition as a courtesy to those who might be interested in having the illustrations in color. And I earn less money on each sale in order to keep the introductory price below $50. The main point of interest in the book in either edition is, I believe, the Index to the work of Carl Barks, but if anyone wants to pay $15 extra for a few pages of color illustrations, it is currently available as an option.
