>>PREVIEWS Prevue Available<<
(AUG111043E, $28.99)
CREATORS: (W/A) Carl Barks
SOLICITATION: The first volume in a series of affordable, full-color hardcovers collecting the complete works of "The Good Duck Artist"!
Carl Barks' Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics are considered among the greatest and most timeless artistic and storytelling achievements in the history of the medium. Yet until now, his works have only been reprinted in random comic book iterations or high-end collectors' editions. For the first time, read the complete works of one of the medium's greatest artists in affordably priced hardcover volumes perfect for parents and children alike, meticulously restored and recolored to ensure the very best reproduction Barks' work has ever received.
Barks began drawing the comic book adventures of Donald Duck in 1942, and he continued for the next 30 years, creating some of the most memorable comics and characters ever put to page. This first volume contains over 200 pages of vintage Barks from 1948-1950, including the title story "Lost in the Andes," Barks' personal favorite, wherein Doanld and his nephews embark on a Peruvian expedition to solve the mystery of where square eggs come from. Also featured are "The Golden Christmas Treek," "Race to the South Seas," and "Voodoo Hoodoo," as well as over a dozen other strips and stories.
Lost in the Andes also features an introduction by noted Barks scholar Donald Ault, and detailed commentary/annotations for each story at the end of the book, written by the foremost Barks authorities in the world.
APPEAL: Fantagraphics' Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse HC Volume 1: Race to Death Valley (FEB111040E, $29.99), which ranked third on the Top 25 Small Press Graphic Novel chart and seventh on the Top 50 Non-Premier Graphic Novel chart for June 2011, already proved there is demand for the timeless Disney comics of yesteryear. The collected Donald Duck work from Carl Barks should likewise be well-received among customers of all ages.
Illustrating Walt Disney Comics from the early 1940s until the late 1960s, Barks toiled in anonymity for over 25 years before taking his place among the comic industry’s greats. Now his work on Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge ranks as some of the most respected and collectible in all of comics. This collection presents comics work that George Lucas described as a “priceless part of our literary heritage.” Priceless, yes. Rare, yes. Affordable? Now it is. With this hardcover, Fantagraphics gives fans of Barks’ classic Donald Duck work a way to pick up remastered versions of his beloved comics without breaking the bank.
