I don't know how many individual stories and gag pages he has drawn, but you can look it up on COA in Creators, under Carl Barks Index. i think he drew (penciled and inked) over 6500 pages, and an additionall 700+ in penciled script layouts (1 Unclke Scrooge, 3 Donald Ducks and many Junior Woodchucks).

I still hope that this great German collection of Barks comics will come in Englisch some day.
Does anyone know what 159 comics are missing in the collection?

It was Robb. You should visit Beru's Disney Comics Fan Page. You'll find every story that Barks drew himself except for Pluto Saves the Ship The Junior Woodchucks stories and the other stories that Barks drew scripts but didn't write after 1967.

@Roger: the fan page is really great. I still wonder how much time the guy must have: 48h/day ;)

well honestly i do know beru's disney fanpage but as far as i know its not legal so i decided not to mention it =P thank you though

Quote from user: timoroThe very same Carl Barks Collection is published in Finland and in all Scandinavian countries as well, and as far as I know, it will contain ALL Barks' Disney-comics, including Pluto Saves Ship + Junior Woodchucks (drawn by Jippes). Six boxes have come out in Finland and 8 (?) in other nordic countries. Whole set of 10 boxes/30 books contains appr. 6 500 pages of comics + hundreds and hundreds of pages of articles and covers. Also, there might be additional volumes containing all paintings and perhaps even non-Disney comics. Not sure yet.

Hi Timoro. Yes "The Collected Works of Carl Barks" printed in Scandinavia and Germany, and Finland, is almost finished. We have 9 of the 10 boxes in Germany, and I believe already 9 have been released in Scandinavia. They will have all Barks' Disney fully-drawn stories, plus all his scribbled scripts, plus all stories based on his written scripts and notes, and comments to fans in the 30 volumes in the ten boxes. In addition, the publishers are planning additional volumes (one box of three volumes for sure, possibly plus another box of three). These are said (rumoured) to include Carl's non-Disney finished comic book stories (Barney Bear/Benny Burro, Happy Hound, Porky Pig, Andy Panda, (a Droopy script?), plus all of Carl's oil paintings and pre-Disney professional drawing (Calgary Eye Opener/Judge Magazine, Coo Coo Magazine, and gags sold to newspapers. It MAY also include drawings for fans, and other artwork of his that might be gathered together.

The "Collected Works of Carl Barks" /"Carl Barks Collection" is being published in German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Finnish. Gemstone Disney Comics has announced they will print a version (English). I don't know if that version will be as the same high quality as the Scandinavian and German printings. I do hope it will be published. I also hope there will be a Dutch version. I haven't heard of any plans for that, or a French or Italian one.
