Kidnapped, Donald escapes, only to wander hopelessly in the far frozen north! Next, he invents a rocket fuel powerful enough to send him to the moon!

Sick of the snow, Donald trades his house for an airplane so he and the boys can winter in the tropics. But fate intervenes, and they find themselves flying a crucial supply of penicillin to the stricken community of Point Marrow, Alaska. Meanwhile, some shady characters decide to use Donald’s rescue mission as cover to steal an old-timer’s secret gold stash ― kidnapping Donald along the way! Escaping from their clutches, a freezing Donald, lost in the vast empty wastes of the far, far north encounters an angry polar bear who chases him off a cliff ― and then things really start to go wrong! Next, Donald suffers a bonk on the head that turns him into a scientific genius. His first invention: duckmite, an explosive so powerful that he uses it to propel a rocket to the moon. Then, Donald accidentally gives the boys a rare dime worth $500. But how to get it back?

As we circle back to Carl Barks’s earlier stories, the Good Duck Artist delivers another superb collection of surprise, delight, comedy, adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Eighteen stories in all in more than 200 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored. Plus, insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts.

Review

"It is amazing that even this early into Carl Barks’ comics career, he really does not miss with any of his stories. ... I love this Carl Barks Complete Disney Library because I feel like I am taking a deep class in Disney comic education and these volumes are my fun textbooks."
― Duck Talks

About the Author

Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barks’s most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a “Disney Legend,” a special award created by Disney “to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic.” He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world.
