Barrier book

[François Willot]

To Mike Barrier:

First let me say that your book is one of the greatest and most complete
bibliography on Barks I have ever seen. It's a truly brilliant work. I was
one of lucky last few persons to buy it in the early 90s. Unfortunately my
copy is in bad condition now (I whish it could be reprinted).

One error that I mentioned to Daniel and to this list is the first
appearance of Daisy which is in "The Mighty Trapper" (cameo appearance in
WDC 36) and not "Donald Tames his Temper" (WDC 64). I guess you know this
error by now.
Also, you say the Grandma Duck story drawn by Barks for WDC 132 is ten pages
long. It is eight pages instead.

I guess there's no need to send you all new data about reprints from 1978 to
now nor about Barks' later stories (Horsing around with history, the scripts
he made for the Disney editors in Denmark by Tom Anderson and Vicar,
Somewhere in Nowhere etc.) and recent revelations - the gag ideas he
submited to the Donald daily strips in 1939 and 1940. They all are in the
Disney Comics database on the Internet (called Inducks) to which I'm
contributing.

In a few days a complete bibliography of Barks in France will be published
(for the first time here). This bibliography starts from the original US
comics and includes all reprints we know of.
