Disney Comics Library. Carl Barks's Donald Duck. Vol. 1. 1942–1950

Donald and the Duck Man
Disney's feathered favorite stars in Golden Age print adventures

Suave yet short-tempered, Donald Duck was Walt Disney's cartoon bad boy, a more complex foil to the ever-optimistic Mickey Mouse and a box-office draw from his earliest silver screen appearances. It was in comics that Donald continued to soar creatively, thanks to Carl Barks, the self-taught cartoonist whose masterful and imaginative work turned the quarrelsome quacker into a cultural icon.

Spanning 1942 to 1950, this deluxe volume collects some of Barks's earliest and most iconic tales from the Four Color anthology series, including Lost in the Andes, Luck of the North, Donald Duck and the Mummy's Ring, and Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold.
