|Back in the mid-seventies, I read that the complete history via the =
|comics was available in a collected works called "Uncle Scrooge: His =
|Life and Times" by Carl Barks. My later search for the set met with no =
|knowledge of its existence. Is it available, and have there been similar =
|sets for the other characters?

The book was published in 1981 by Celestial Arts, Millbrae, California. It
has ISBN # 0-89087-290-2 (Hardbound deluxe edition including a signed and
numbered lithograph "Wanderers of Wonderlands" by Barks). I think the book
was also published as a trade paperback, but I'm not quite sure.
The book contains reprints of 11 of Carl Barks' Scrooge stories plus a new
story titled "Go Slowly Sands of Time". The latter is not a comic but a text
story with illustrations (circa one illustration per page). In addition the
book contains articles about Barks and even an introduc(k)tion by Barks
himself.

I have no idea of the availability of this book. I checked www.amazon.com
with no results.

This is not a *complete* Scrooge history. For this (in the Carl Barks sense)
you will need The Carl Barks Library or the actual comic books.
