Only a Poor Old Man estimated delivery on Amazon is for June 29, 2012 to July 3, 2012. Lost in the Andes list price was $24.99 and this one is $28.99. I'm really looking forward to these!

So why does amazon list Only a Poor Old Man as "volume one?" A simple error, surely.

Happy to do so! :) Unfortunately, Fantagraphics already confirmed there will be no boxed versions for the Carl Barks' series, as they're not releasing the volumes chronologically. On other news...
You can get BOTH Donald Duck's Lost In The Andes and Mickey Mouse's Trapped In Treasure Island this weekend, at APE: the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco, CA!
I would so take a flight for this. Bank account's as poor as my common sense rite now, thank goodness.

Crud! Sweartagod, if that were within even marginally reasonable driving distance from me, I would so be there.

I like the boxed sets, but so I don't have to wait for the 2nd book to get the first book :)

To bad that San Fransisco is not near my home. Will someone go there? GeoX? I would love to see more pages of the Barks book.

It seems no one out of everyone who posted could make it to the Expo (everyone = Charlie Brown, Geox, Yours Truly), but it's just as well; via Facebook, Fantagraphics reported that "Sadly, Donald didn't make it to the show due to a shipping mishap. :(" Phew! Mickey 2 WAS there, though.

So we didn't miss the Barks book. Will the 2nd Mickey book be available at all shops now?
BTW: The book "Murder by high tide" in the background of the picture is also nice.

Off-topic, but: I can highly recommend Sibyl-Anne ("Sibylline" in French). A very good series by Raymond Macherot... and when it's at its best, it's excellent!

Amazon lists the Gottfredson book (single version and slipcased combo) as being pushed back to the thirty-first. DARN!!!
(I guess you could buy a bunch of them and give them out to trick-or-treaters, though...)

Good news, everybody! (Futurama fans, high five!)
A brief but interesting discussion on the Library, including a preview with "The Crazy Quiz Show" available in its entirety. Also of interest, we now know what will be the third volume in the series: A Christmas for Shacktown!
Last but not least, the first Review on "Lost in The Andes", a very favorable one at that!

Thanks for the link to the review!
I'm most excited that we're finally getting an uncensored "Voodoo Hoodoo"!

Well... I'm a little skeptical to the non-chronological order of the stories in the volume, but otherwise I'm very eager to see this one up close. It will be the 2nd or 3rd complete collection of Barks stories on my bookshelves, but so what ... it's Barks. However, I am a little sad that ... With all due respect for Don Ault and his knowledge and writing skills, I would have liked to see a US edition of the European (Scandinavian/German) Carl Barks Collection, including the truckloads of fabulous extra material but with coloring like this Fantagraphics edition (or at least coloring the way the Fantagraphics colors are described).

A really nice start :)
To the topic: I can't wait to get my first copy of this Barks collection. I don't own any complete set of any Barks collections. So this will (hopefully) be my first.

I thought the books are non-chronological, but the stories inside one book are chronological. So everyone can arrange the books and stories in order at home. That leaves me a little bit disappointed. But the uncensored "Voodoo Hoodoo" makes me smile again.

As far as I understand it, each volume does reprint Barks' complete works from a set period of time, but the order of the stories within each volume isn't chronological. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm merely referring to this paragraph in the review:
Quote:The stories aren't ordered strictly chronologically here, though there is a key at the end of the book to outline where each story was originally printed, and in which month. Fantagraphics went in and bunched up the longer adventure-length stories first, then the shorter 10 page humor tales, followed by the single page gags. It's an effective technique for an anthology book that doesn't need continuity.
Why not simply order all the stories strictly chronologically? That's the order (more or less) Barks wrote them.
