Armando, your dream piece about Carl was a beautiful piece of writing and a
wonderful sentiment. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'd like to think
that's exactly the way it happened.
I also enjoyed Frank's (l-o-o-o-n-g) reminisces about Carl. The Bark-related
pictures on your web site were also a treat.

Celebrating Barks' life

ALL:
> It's sad that he died...
I'm probably going to get banned from this list, for saying it, but I
feel I have to do it:
Instead of mourning Barks' death, we should be celebrating his life!
How many people do you know who got to live up to their 100th year,
who had (at least) two very productive careers during their life, each
spanning what for a normal person would have been their entire productive
lifetime, who got to share with the world the product of their work during
those lifetimes, and who, for this reason, were loved by (literally)
millions of people?
Corporeal immortality is not a blessing; it is a curse, and one should
not wish to inflict it upon others. Being granted the oportunity to
choose when to leave is far better, and as we all know, Unca Carl was
able to do exactly that.

A minor update: Barks' erstwhile managers, Bill Grandey and Kathy
Morby, after the dissolution of The Carl Barks Studio, went on to
form, or at least become involved in, The Marc Davis Studio. (Marc
Davis has since passed away, and I'm not sure that his Studio is
still in operation.) And just lately they have been in the papers
concerning projects they state they are now doing for both Disney and
Warner Brothers. Busy folks.

Hello:
It`s really nice to see that so many want to share their feelings about Carl
Barks. I have not been able to post my own feelings, because I find it
difficult to express them in words. Let me just say that I really love his
comics, and that they have meant a lot to me. I really liked Armandos
thoughts. I also found the message about celebrating Carl Barks life
sensible. I fully agree. With him, and all of the other contributers on the
list.

Where can I get disney (duck/mouse) comix in NYC?
Message 39 -
2000-09-11 at 16:31:27
Dear DCML folks,
Have only recently joined DCML.
As I'm living way off the (disney) comix beaten track
in manga/anime heaven (= disney comix hell) namely:
Japan, I REALLY have trouble getting DISNEY stuff.
I do manage to get the odd BATMAN or SPIDERMAN (albeit
at prices verging on highway robbery)!! But the only
Disney stuff available here is "oh ever so cutesy"
merchandise and paraphernelia (absolutely NO comix)!!
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I'll be in the "Big
Apple" (NYC) 14th - 20th Sept. and in "Koelsch town"
(Cologne, Germany) as well as Duesseldorf 21st - 28th
Sept.
Can any kind soul out in DCML land give me some tips
on where I can get duck and mouse Disney comix
(original English text) from Gold Key to most recent
Gladstone (incl. CARL BARKS IN COLOUR) at reasonable
prices in these cities (or their vicinity)??
Many thanx in advance to anyone that can help!

Barks Homage
Message 42 -
2000-09-11 at 20:04:13
The following is a message I sent to Mr. Barks about two months before his
death (courtesy of Michael Naiman).
Having just been informed of Mr. Barks? health, I would greatly
appreciate it if you would forward the following to him. This section of an
autobiographical sketch was recently written as part of an adoption process.
Despite my love of sports (which I shared with my brother but not
my parents) I also loved to read ? anything ? science books, adventure
stories, science fiction, historical novels, biographies and comic books.
My mother was horrified at my love of comic books, but really couldn?t
object because I was such a voracious reader of everything. My father
actually liked to read comic books as well. My favorites were not Superman
and Batman like most other kid. I found these comics infantile. I loved
Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge and I collect these comics to this day.
Perhaps my single fondest memory from childhood is when Grandma would visit
and dispense to my brother and I a neat little pile of change (always
exactly the same amount for each of us) carefully wrapped in tissue paper.
If I remember correctly the amount was about $1 to $2. I would take 15¢
down to the corner store buy a bottle of ?pop? (soda) for a nickel, pay an
additional 2¢ deposit, and while drinking my pop, I would peruse the comic
book shelves always looking for a new Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge. If I
found one I would be in heaven. I would drink my soda, reclaim my 2¢
deposit and take the dime I now had and buy that comic. The only thing that
was better when there was two new Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge comics, I
would buy one immediately, rush home, beg my mother to allow me to spend
another dime of Grandma?s money (she almost always said OK after 5 minutes
of unrelenting begging), and I would rush back to the store to get the
second comic. This was double heaven. Remember that in those days (about
1953) $2 would buy me 10 sodas and 15 comics!. . . . . My view of heaven is
basically a movie theater with a comic book store next door full of Disney
comics.
Of course the comics I am referring to are Mr. Barks?. Thank you
Mr. Barks for providing me with among the happiest moments in my entire
life!
Rob McCallum

Phantomias, Patomas, Paperinik, or Superduck, as far as I know, is indeed
Italian. His first appearance (and also the story of his origin) was in
"Paperinik il diabolico vendicatore" (TL-706b: story by Guido Martina, art
by Carpi), in which Donald inherits a big old house which happens to have
been the secret headquartes of Phantomias, a 19th century thief.
I don't know if it's been drawn by any American artist (there seems to be
few entries for 'Superduck' in the INDUCKS), but I think it's the Great
Massimo de Vita the one who most has told about him.
