The Collected Works of Carl Barks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Collected Works of Carl Barks is an ongoing series of books from the Disney licensee Egmont containing all Disney comics and covers written and/or drawn by Carl Barks, collected chronological. It also includes significant textual materials (articles and analysis) written by editor Geoffrey Blum. It will be published between 2005-2008 in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It is also being published in Finland and Germany, although publication began at a later point in those countries. The complete set will consist of 30 books collected in 10 slipcase boxes, constituting about 8000 pages (including the articles) or some 500 comic book stories by Barks. The series is only available by subscription. In many aspects the series is similar to Carl Barks Library (CBL) but differs by being published in colour, organizing the stories by the date of publication and containing newly discovered previously unpublished material. Blum was a contributing editor to CBL, and his familiarity with the Barks canon and its historic background is the principal reason Egmont hired him. Blum has drawn not only on material that appeared previously in CBL but new research he has undertaken which has resulted in a number of significant discoveries and fresh perspectives on Barks and his creations.
