Greek media about the passing of Carl Barks

[Georgios Balanikas M.D.]

I had started to worry that the passing of the legendary comic artist would
pass here unnoticed by the Greek news media.
But  after a few days delay, some daily newspapers  have articles today
about the death of our great Master.
The wide circulating and among the most serious newspapers" TO VIMA "had
today a whole page article in the section "CULTURE",about the life and the
work of Carl Barks.
The Supertitle is "Barksism"and the title:"Carl Barks and the immortal
ducks".It has a color photo of CB painting the "Surprise Party at Memory
Pond". It has also a sketch of the "Calgary Eye Opener and a panel of the
story "A poor Old Man".The article is very detailed and descriptive of CB
life and work. This newspaper has suspended its web site for a moment and it
is not possible to see the article in the web. Another daily newspaper "TA
NEA " of the same publishing company has also a paragraph with these news
and a self-portrait sketch of CB.
This publishing company is the largest in Greece and is co-owner of the
company that publishes KOMIX. Every day these two newspapers have colored
Disney strips as an advertisement for the weekly Mickey Mouse.
Other newspapers:"EXOUSIA" with also a whole page article ,a photo and a
panel of a story, "Eleytheros Typos"with a one-page detailed article and
"Adesmeytos Typos" with a half -page article. The electronic media kept
silence.
