A review by rebus
The Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Donald Duck by Carl Barks
5.0
Unlike so many other creators of his time--I'm looking at you, Hal Foster--who were simply producing imperialist propaganda, Barks was not only a master of storytelling who had some of the best linework in the history of the medium, but he was a socialist who was sneaking that sort of subversive content into tales for the children (and Walt Disney himself was quite subversive, and both he and Carl would be rolling in their graves with horror to see what a lame propaganda outfit Disney has been since at least the 70s, plying in family friendly garbage when not engaging with the war propaganda that is Marvel features).
This is Barks at the beginning, already a master craftsman, and I'm sad that no one else has listed the other 9 volumes of what was the definitive Barks approved editions of these stories (oft censored by Disney in comic book form).
I'm substituting the single volumes of a much later edition where they exist in approximately 200 page volumes. Only #4 is missing and there is a Volume 10 listed without art that I am substituting for #s 28-30 in the final slipcover. If I do not manage to rate them, please assume a 5 star rating for each. They are also listed as read by me--the series of 10 slipcases was published in a very strange order--during the years they were published according to a Wikipedia page (volumes 8, 1, and 3 were published first, which I recall from having worked at the world's largest distributor of comics at the time).
