Regarding this panel: the European colors look much better, more realistic.
I would like to try a second panel with sky:
This time the first print shows a red boat and the new one a brown boat. That doesn't fit the panel above (note the red rail).

The colors seem a little 'flat' to me. At least, the examples here. The pages in the link look better.

Quote from user: Robb_KThanks Joakim. You're just the fellow to ask this next question: Do you know if Barks' "plots" he sold for the Taliaferro strips were just hand-written sentences describing the gags, or if there were rough sketches along with the writing? I know that his paid gags for animation usually had sketches as well.
I have never seen any roughs for the gags. If Barks did any they were probably thrown away right after the strip had been finished.

Thanks. I suspect that he DID make rough sketches of at least the climax point, but probably informal "quickie" roughs of the whole sequences. It's a shame that ALL art related to any Disney productions couldn't be kept in files for each production, indefinitely.

I guess it will depend on the paper if the colors will look good in print.
If printed on paper similar to the new Mickey book (or a paper with a slight hint of yellow instead of pure white) I'm sure this will look really, really good.
If printed on glossy paper similar to the Mickey Mouse in Color book etc it will eh ... probably not look as good.

>I also would like to buy the boxes seperate instead of waiting for the sets.
According to Fantagraphics, "there will be no box sets. We're releasing the volumes out of chronological order (though the contents of each volume are chronological), so it didn't make sense for us to do that."

That's lousy!!! They'll be like the Old Dutch Black and white set. Just a bunch of loose consecutive books on a shelf. Why would they box The Gottfredson and not the Barks? They could have released 2 at a time in each box, and still had the release order different from chronological. I don't like this.

The boxes aren't the end of the world for me. I am just super stoked for this release.
Carl Barks is one of those rare authors who, no matter how many times you read his work, makes you feel like you are in for a special experience. There is a certain timeless quality to his work that appeals to both the sense of wonderment from one's youth, as well as the the inherent world-weariness of your adulthood.
Barks' work endures, like so few of the endeavors of his contemporaries, because he perfects what all truly great authors strive for - characters with souls. By giving his characters motivations, fears, hopes, triumphs and disappointments, Barks' work could serve as a graduate course for all who wish to pursue careers in comics, movies, television or eletronic entertainment. I look forward to these publications less as the collector I have evolved into and more as the fan I started out as.

No boxes? That's sad. I love the boxed Peanuts sets. The books are so much saver (shipping and storage).
I hope the books will at least be shipped shrink-wraped. Was the Gottfredson book shrink-wraped?
My last ordered single Fantagraphics book "Murder by High Tide" (Gil Jordan) wasn't.

I would have to agree with Mustang on this. The fact that Barks work will be readily available to a new generation trumps any concern that I might have as a collector at this point. With KaBoom exiting the scene, it is refreshing to know that at least Barks work will continue to reach a new audience and be a tremendous resource for those who have enjoyed his artistry all of our lives. Kudos, Fantagraphics!

Very well said.
I have my own reservations about this new set (going through the time-vacuuming trouble to re-colour everything wrong on purpose is just bizarre to me), but overall I'm ecstatic about it. Even without boxes! ;P

I agree as well. I have a niece who has expressed interest in reading Duck comics (I have to admit, it was mostly because she read my dialogued version of "The Great Paint Robbery" and though it was neat). I can't think of a better way to introduce her to classic Barks than through these FG hardbacks. She won't care about chronological order so much as the stories themselves.

What I'm wondering about is this: the color of Scrooge's coat. Fantagraphics says they try to be as close as they can to the original colors, but in the 1960s, the colors became... kinda weird. Not to mention that Scrooge's coat changes color every story, in the 1960s the air became purple... then green... then blue... then yellow. All on one page. Would FG go for consistency (same colored coat, same colored backgrounds) or authenticity?
And what should they do?
