Fans have been waiting for Volume 1 of The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library and it does not disappoint.... comic book gold.—Cinema Sentries

I had a tough time putting this book down. Each story was a ton of fun to read and took Donald and his nephews on some wild adventures. There were times when things seemed hopeless, but together they always found a way to get through it. Fans of this character will definitely want to pick this collection up.—The Good Men Project

The Carl Barks Complete Disney Library is essential reading and studying for all Disney Duck scholars. As a reminder: It would take a lot of time and money to compile a comic collection that included all of these stories. Anything that takes a lot of time and money would not be approved by Scrooge McDuck.—Duck Talks

This is such a beautiful set that they have released and such a great achievement in comic book history and preserving it.—Taylor Talks Comics

For readers who already enjoy Barks, this first volume is a must.—Truth, Beauty, Comics!

The 64-page Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold, published in 1942, was Carl Barks’s first full-length Donald Duck story. Barks would go on to become the definitive Donald Duck artist/writer despite readers not even knowing who he was. For years, he would just be identified as the “Good Duck Artist” by a collective of fans who recognized that certain Duck stories were creatively and artistically far above the rest.—David Auerbach

This book is a lot of fun.—Near Mint Condition
