The Carl Barks Index: A Concordance of the Comics of Carl Barks as published in Fantagraphics Books Complete Carl Barks Disney Library volumes 5-14 and the original Comic Books by Kim Weston This book is a comprehensive index and concordance of Carl Barks' prime period Disney comics as published by Fantagraphics. From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. Fantagraphics Books is now 5 years into a 15 year project reprinting that work in an acclaimed series of mass market hardback books in color. The 10 volumes already published include all of Barks' Disney comic work created between December 1946 and March 1953, including the creation of Uncle Scrooge in 1947, and also all issues of the Uncle Scrooge title through issue #12 in 1955. This period is probably the high point in creativity and quality of writing and drawing in Barks' career as a comic book writer and artist and includes a majority of Barks very best work. With over 6,000 lines of data in the Index, each data entry includes book title and page numbers for the Fantagraphics Book printings as well as references to all of the original USA comic book first publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers. Each entry also includes the date of creation, based on Carl Barks personal work records. Just about any question you might ask about Carl Barks' work, if you can think of it, and it is included in Barks' work, you can probably find it and all references to it. Want to find every depiction of a cigarette in Barks' comics? It's there. What really was the first appearance of the money bin or its precursors, or the worry room, or Gladstone's luck, every appearance of the Beagle Boys, all incarnations of Barks' pig villain characters, what stories were rewritten years or decades later? Where does that huge panel of a money dam bursting with gazillions of dollars flowing forth appear? It's all there.
