Description: These books were part of 6 Carl Barks Special books.

The 1st and 2nd books contain the story and biography of Barks; the integral version of some censored stories; the complete commented index chronology of his Disney stories; his comic covers; a part of his covers; etc.

The 3rd book contains portrait oriented oils. 124 pages; 56 oils; width 22,4 cm x height 31,8 cm; full color. The 4th book contains landscape oriented oils. 92 pages; 38 oils; width 31,8 cm x height 22,1 cm; full color. Of these two books the first limited edition was published in 1990 (possibly 200 copies). They were sold out immediately, so a second limited edition (200 copies) was published. In these editions, there are 94 of the 122 oils Barks made in the 1970s. (The oils which were not reproduced in books 3 and 4 are those that had been reproduced in small format in the "Fine Art of W. Disney's Donald Duck" book.) The 3th and 4th book are the only ones of the series with a second edition. The only difference between the two editions is the cover colour.

The 5th book was not published because the A.N.A.F. went out of business. It would have contained the other 28 oils not published in the 3th and 4th book.

The 6th book is a collection of the Barks' best Christmas stories.
