BARKS ORIGINAL UNCLE SCROOGE 50'S COVER ART 
Item # 1173214410 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1173214410

This is a beautiful piece of art by legend and Duckman supreme...
Carl Barks. Carl drew this on an onion skin type tracing paper. 
It is done in pencil and is signed on the bottom corner in ink by Carl. 
It is about 9x12 in size. Carl worked in these pre-lins all the time, 
all the original covers are owned by Disney (The Walt Disney Production 
Company), so none of the originals have ever been sold (if they still 
even exist). This is a chance to own an original cover from issue #46 
or #51 by the creator of Uncle Scrooge, Huey Dewey and Louie, Gyro 
Gearloose and more. I checked the covers of every issue from  #40-65 
and the only issue I didn't see was #51, so this is either the cover 
to #51 or an unused original version of #46. I am not sure. [...] 
The reserve is set at $2200.00 a great price for this piece of history. 

[It's an alternate cover sketch for "Lost Beneath the Sea" in US 46.
The title on this cover sketch is "Strangers Under The Sea". Contains 
logo and cover layout lines. It is different from the similar-looking 
alternate cover sketch in The Carl Barks Library set 5, at the bottom 
of page 287. Version as printed in the CBL does not contain logo or 
layout lines. DvE.]

Disney Carl Barks Oil-Ograph No Res / Only 75 
Item # 1171058657
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1171058657

Hello EBAY Shoppers: I have this very very nice oil-Ograph created by 
Carl Barks. It is one of only 75 that were created. This piece 
"Invasion of Privacy" was issued 3 years ago and each year they were 
going to issue another different print. I loved this version so much 
I sold my unframed paper version for $350 at a show and immediately 
bought this one for $500. It looks exactly like the oil painting it 
is even on cloth.. To a person when they see it the first thing they 
say is" you own an original Barks" The answer is YES this is a very 
beautiful Oil-Ograph by Barks. It looks so real Disney has a stamp on 
the back of the piece that states "This is a reproduction" The framing 
on the piece is also fantastic. It was hand signed by Barks. I have 
several other items that I had Carl Barks sign through the years and 
will be putting some of these on EBAY also soon so.Please check out 
my other auctions I have a lot of other great Disney items. This is 
from my personal collection and the only reason I am selling it is 
because I need some more money for a house I am buying othwise it 
wouldn't be for sale. Shipping will be $10 in the United States.

Popeye Nancy Porky Pig 3 BLB s Carl Barks ? 
Item # 1450603781 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1450603781

3 books 1 bid. Popeye the Sailor Man, Better Little Book #1422 copyright 
MCMXXXVIII MCMXXXIX MCMXLVII. (1938,1939,1947) in FN-VFN. Nancy All 
Pictures Comics #1487 copyright 1943, 1944 FN (pencil Carolyn Carfagno 
neatly on first page). Porky Pig and His Gang Better Little Book #1404 
is missing the copyright page due to the binding separating along the 
interior left edge, a pity because the entire outside cover and spine 
are excellent and the remaining pages are tight. The style of the comics
(these are cover to cover comics in black and white) reminds me of 
CARL BARKS of Donald Duck Uncle Scrooge fame and he did draw Four Color 
Comics #48 Dell Porky Pig of the Mounties in 1944. There are two "Stories" 
in this Better Little Book- Porky of the Mounties and Porky and the 
Pirate ! I cannot say if he drew this book, but a collector may know. 

[Barrier mentions "Porky Pig and His Gang" on page 195, saying that part 
of the book is reprinted from "Porky of the Mounties" (OS 48). DvE.]
