Topic: Fantagraphics to Publish Barks Library in English

I'm curious to see how they'll handle Pluto Saves the Ship and The Riddle of the Red Hat. So far, they've been doing the stories (roughly) chronologically, in the volumes (with some exceptions). I wonder if those two stories will be saved for the Disney Family books (even though the Grandma Duck, Junior Woodchuck, Daisy Duck Diary, and Gyro Gearloose stories were written many years after the other two stories)? If not, how do you think they should handle those two stories?

After all, I would presume the first volume of the series would be Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold!, and will probably include stories like The Mummy's Ring, Too Many Pets, and the early 10 pagers (Victory Garden, Rabbit's Foot, etc.) Do you think Pluto Saves the Ship should instead be included in this volume?

Riddle of the Red Hat would be situated around a volume that would probably have either Frozen Gold or The Terror of the River, the two Four Color stories that it is set between....

Still, though, considering that all the other stories in these volumes clearly focus on Donald, I think it would make more sense to move Pluto and Riddle and put them in a miscellaneous volume with the other random character stories, like JW, DDD, Gyro, and Grandma, despite the large chronological distance between the early Mouse character stories and the later Duck Universe stories. What do you guys think?

Another thing that just crossed my mind...Do you think there'd ever be a chance of seeing translated stories of the José Carioca Barks stories that replaced Donald with José? Does anyone know the details behind those stories? There's a list of them here... http://coa.inducks.org/simp.php?d1=Jose+Carioca&d2=&d4=&creat=Carl+Barks&exactpg=&kind=0 Do these stories have brand new plots, or it literally pretty much a translated DD Barks story with José in Donald's place?

Talk to you later!

That was my conclusion as well Rob :)
Donald, Daisy, and Grandma (mainly from WDC): 20 volumes. Scrooge and Gyro (mainly from US): 10 volumes.

I think that EVERYTHING drawn by Barks should be in chronological volumes. So, "Riddle of The Red Hat" should be in the mid 1940s volume and "Pluto saves The Ship" should be in the first volume.

I don't think that the Ze Carioca stories should be printed in USA because they are Barks' exact drawings with Donald removed and replaced by Jose Carioca, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie removed and replaced by 2 parrot nephews of Jose. We already have 95% of that artwork, and 100% of those stories.

Concerning the book in christmas box set, the one which is second print and has better binding then the first release, is this book going to get a third print because I can only order solo books, box packs dont deliver to my country. Theoretically will there be a third print and when should it be expected?

I read somewhere that the Woodchucks will be omitted. Daisy and Grandma weren't scripted by Barks, so who knows? If Mickey and Pluto are omitted too, we are in for thin volumes 1-4. Even more so considering that Barks hadn't started doing covers back then.

There's already drawn-only Barks stories in the volumes, don't think they'll omit Daisy and Grandma.

I am SURE that Barks' drawn, but not written stories will all be included. I find it difficult to understand why Fantagraphics would leave out Barks' Junior Woodchucks stories, as drawn by Daan Jippes, they look 95 % as Barks' inks would have in the mid '60s. So, why leave them out?

Hi Pedro. There are no plans for reprinting the Barks-written-but-not-drawn stories per se (I think we can all agree they are among his lesser works), but in any event, if we were to do so it would be at the very tail end of the project so it??s not a bridge we have to cross for many, many years. It would be kind of a neat book, particularly since Daan Jippes is great. But I??d rather reprint Barks BARNEY BEAR stories, for example, before that. Barks trumps all!

This is from the announcement interview with Gary Groth on the website robot6. I`d say the (now) late Kim Thompson would know this.

It would be great if somewhere down the line they publish all the Carl Barks' Junior Woodchucks stories that were drawn by Daan Jippes. Personally, I would also like to see the Carl Barks roughly drawn scripts as well.

It's possible that they could package some of the spinoffs together in a separate release, like the Mickey Sunday comics.

It was confirmed from the beginning and has always been the assumption that there will be 30 volumes. So it would only be the logical conclusion that Fantagraphics would included pretty well everything that Another Rainbow had n their 30 volume collection.
JDHJANUS
Well, if that IS the case, then more than likely, that means they probably WON'T do Pluto Saves the Ship, considering that the story was only written by Barks (InDucks shows that the artist is unknown). Sad, considering that story has only been reprinted once in America, in the Another Rainbow hardback Carl Barks Library. It would be nice to read it, if merely for the fact of having the chance to read all of Carl Barks' Disney stories.

Thanks for the update, DuckandCover!

Talk to you later!

Ditto! I would at least like square-bound comic collections of all the Barks/Jippes JW stories that were not in the Gemstone volume (Donald Duck Family: The Daan Jippes Collection, vol 1). Or one or two TPBs (like the Treasures volumes) with all of them. Maybe I should hope for IDW to do this, since Fantagraphics has enough on its plate for many years to come. For starters, I'll settle happily for printings of the not-yet-published-here Barks/Jippes stories in monthly IDW comics. Vitamin Zee! Vitamin Zee!

Received "Cities of Gold" yesterday. It's as wonderful as all the previous volumes. My favourite Scrooge-adventures as a kid was always "Philosopher's Stone" and "The Golden Fleecing", so this was perfection for me :)
