Answer to Lucky and stuff

[Danny Coenen]

LUCKY:

If you want to find more about Carl Barks, which will surely be as
interesting for you as it was for me and many other Barks fans, I
recommend to look for the book "Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic
Book" (New York, 1991) by Michael Barrier. There are a lot of other 
publications on his person, but this one is, in my opinion, one of 
the best ones available. 
As far as I know there is no book about *only* Don Rosa, but you 
will get to know him and his work very quickly, as his stories are 
discussed rather often on this forum. To get to know his background 
you should read the file about Don on the www-page of this list. Why 
he is so popular is because he includes many facts of the old Barks 
stories, his art is very different to the other Disney drawers 
(much more details...) and his stories are full of little gags, so 
that you always find some you didn`t mention before when you read his 
stories again and again. I think that he is, beneath Barks, the best 
comic artist in the businness, although I`m not so happy about the fact 
that he sometimes changes facts of the Barks universe. 

ALL SKANDINAVIANS:

I`ve heard about two books on Carl Barks in English published in 
Kobenhavn (spelling OK?) and in Helsinki. 
"Carl Barks & Co. One Shot No.22: Europe Tour 1994" and "Carl Barks` 
Surviving  Comic Book Art". Does anyone of you know these books?
If yes, please tell me if there are worth buying or not. 

I`ll be on vacation from friday on for two weeks, so I won`t be able
to answer any mail during that time.
