Mavis Beacon Time Cheat

76th Madness: The Dynasty Donald Duck, Volume 1: 1950-1951


Nicknamed by his fans "Human Ducks," Carl Barks has opened an entire universe extraordinary providing laughter and emotion to millions of readers.
Among the many boards were born of his imagination, we find true timeless masterpieces.


This is a book that I did not buy, simply because I did not know existed! I stumbled upon it, and I did not hesitate for long before coming out with. It must be said that a book of a collection that aims to bring together all the stories created by Carl Barks Disney is something that deserves attention. And I must say that I do not regret this purchase. Already
the object itself is gorgeous, a book with flexible blanket box a little stiff, and a back that shows the first of what will make a big plank where all the volumes will be placed side by side. Moreover, we must know that there are 24 volumes of planned everything. So we can assume that 24 volumes is certainly huge, but for a full Barks, who was very prolific I think it's deserved.
Then go to content. And there it is a wonder, stories that most are really beautiful as graphically screenplay. Afterwards, some are a little less good, but the whole is truly excellent. There are no new stories, they are all published in France at least once. Some are well known (at least for me) because they are often reappeared in various journals Disney, others were totally unknown. In any case, one can only admire the genius of Barks who created characters that are familiar to us, but for the time were extremely innovative. It is still the creator of Scrooge or Huey, Dewey and Louie and others. In addition, these stories are not so old, they seem to be timeless, and even reading them today we do not feel so in the 50s.
In summary, this is a really good book that every fan of the Disney ducks must have. I eagerly await the second volume due out in a few months and especially hope Glénat, the publisher that we "offer" this beautiful collection will generate enough sales to go through the 24 volumes planned.
