I thought every Barks fan would have made a Barks checklist..
I have, and I know exactly which stories I have and which I don't.
I can even recognise most of the stories when seeing only one panel of it...
Of most stories I don't have, I have at least seen a copy in a store (I
don't have the Carl Barks Library, but I browsed in it a lot when it was
for sale). The only Barks things I don't have now, are:
- most of the 'script only' stories (loup garou, junior woodchucks)
- most of the 'barney bear and benny burro' stories.
All the other things I have read at least 20 times... I was glad when Don Rosa
started making stories: finally some *new* stories in the Barks quality.

This means you have a copy of all the 'Our Gang' (bear) stories of Barks?
----x----
[Next thing is Barks, but NOT Disney. So if you think it should not be on
this list: skip it]
BTW: some of the non-Disney Barks comics are reprinted in 'Tom and Jerry'
(Harvey publ.) The Happy Hound stories, and some of the oldest (Barney
Bear &) Benny Burro stories. Apparently, they stopped reprinting Barks,
for I have not seen any Barks story in recent issues.
One of the Happy Hound stories, "Mother is a wolf's best friend", is
reprinted with new lettering and a new title: "Hugo Hound".
I think it is re-translated from some other language: maybe German?
(Hugo sounds German...)
Any clues?
