A Guidebook to the Carl Barks Universe (test)

Description: This portfolio of art contains sixty cover reproductions from The Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Donald Duck (Sets I & II) which originally appeared on Donald Duck Four Color and Donald Duck comic books from 1942-1969. Twenty-four of these covers appear in a large 12 1/4 inches x 8 5/8 inches format. Barks did not do all of the covers from this period, although over half of the oversized covers are by him. Thirty-six smaller four-color covers are reproduced in groups on the reverse of the large prints, along with notes to the covers indicating when and where they originally appeared and which ones are by Barks. The reverse pages also include a number of one-page gags, examples of Barks' oil paintings and more. As an added bonus, there are copies of the slipcase covers of Sets I and II.

Description: Issued as a "printer's overrun" from the first release of the Carl Barks Library, Set VIII. When Another Rainbow inaugurated their hardcover Carl Barks Library project in the early 1980's with a three volume set devoted to Carl Barks' stories from Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, they decided to run off a few hundred extra copies of the color plates used to print the set. When they offered this portfolio of "printer's overruns" to the collector's market, they were stunned to discover that demand was so great that the portfolio of 24 prints sold out almost instantly. And although the press run of the cover portfolio sets that would be issued with subsequent volumes of The Carl Barks Library were vastly increased, the prints in the portfolio from that first set were never reprinted. Format is 12 1/4 inches x 8 5/8 inches.
