Hi there! My first topic here. :) Actually I've lurked a bit in the past few weeks and I quite like this forum, as it's "international" with people from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy, USA... other Disney forums (fora?) I know (in Italian and German) are more "regionalized".
Anyway! I recently started reading the Italian Carl Barks Library and I'm getting more and more involved with the works of Barks. Unfortunately "La Grande Dinastia dei Paperi", as good as it is, doesn't include every-everything done by Barks -- it lacks some paintings and most of the storyboards for the animated shorts (and obviously non-disney comics). I was wondering if there are some books including this material. It looks like the north-european CBL has an extra book for Barks' storyboards and another one for his paintings (which was also published in German: good, as I can read that language!). My question is: do those books include *every* storyboard in complete form (even the ones of unreleased shorts, like "Lost Prospectors" or "Madam XX") and every painting by Barks (even non-disney ones)?
Also a completely unrelated question: I'm totally unaware of the north European Disney comics, unfortunately they aren't published in Italy anymore. As I can read German (and a bit of Dutch, with the help of Google) I'd like to start reading them. What magazine should I buy? I thought about the German Micky Maus Magazine, but from Inducks it seems to have a tiny amount of story pages. :-\
Thanks in advance for the answers! :)

The best German Disney Comic book is "Donald Duck Sonderheft".
In The Netherlands, we have "Donald Duck Weekblad" (weekly), "Donald Duck Extra" (monthly)'.
In Denmark: "Anders And & Co." (weekly) "Anders And Extra" (monthly)
In Sweden: "Kalle Anka & Co." (weekly) "Musse Pigg" (monthly)
In Norway: "Donald Duck & Co." (Weekly) "Donald Duck Ekstra" (monthly)
In Finland: "Akku Anka" (weekly)
There are also many special books published in these countries, but (at least in The Netherlands) they have mostly stories already printed in the weekly magazine. I think that is basically true (but with more exceptions for the other countries listed above.

I haven't subscribed to any magazine in German, but I've bought a bunch of second-hand Micky Maus issues for individual stories (like Byron Erickson's four-part Christmas story where Donald tries out different traditions, and Scrooge shares a memory of a Christmas celebration in his childhood in Scotland!), and a whole slew of the Lustiges Taschenbuch collections. If you haven't been subscribing to a German weekly magazine, the stories in Lustiges Taschenbuch books won't be repeats for you, unless you've seen them in another language. Personally, I like the way some of the LTBs are themed, with stories about underwater adventures, say, or about ancient Egypt, or about ancestors of the Ducks. I buy issues for particular stories which I've identified on Inducks, though, so my goals may be different from yours. (I look for stories by my favorite creators and stories of the sort I like which are highly rated by Inducks users.)

Yes, both can be found in this book.
Quote from user: Federico...and every painting by Barks (even non-disney ones)?
No, not every non-disney. Only a few of these.

Thanks! I've already checked Inducks, but it doesn't list the storyboards, just the articles. Also it looks like the storyboards for Plastic Inventor, Tanglefoot, Tire Trouble, Sky trooper and The Golden Egg aren't included. :\ Just to be sure, every storyboard is in complete form right? Are they translated in Norwegian/Swedish?
@Matilda: Thanks for the suggestion, but LTP mainly publishes Italian comics, which I already read in their original language. I'll see if I can find an issue of Donald Duck Sonderheft, as Robb K has suggested (thank you!)

E.g. the article Madame XX is followed by the storyboard (8 pages).
Plastic Inventor, Tanglefoot and Sky Trooper are mentioned in the article "The lost contributions".
Four panels from Golden Eggs are included.
Not every storyboard is complete.
The storyboards are in English.

Robb is right. The monthly Donald Duck Sonderheft is better than the weekly Micky Maus.
The main readership of Donald Duck Sonderheft are today grown-up comic lovers and collectors. The magazine wants to present a selection of the best Donald Duck stories and contains also background articles on creators and various themes. Since the beginning of this year about every second issue even presents an authentic short Donaldistic research article (see here).
Micky Maus, on the other side, addresses primarily to a children readership and has landed in the trap of infantilism with plastic junk glued on every issue. There are still enough good stories in there, though. I buy the magazine every three or four weeks or so, when it has a story of a creator like Rota or Jippes who interests me.
Donald Duck Sonderheft is completely mouse free zone. Micky Maus has Duck and Mouse stories, but ??against the magazine's name ?? the Duck stories are clearly more and have priority in there (since the beginning of the magazine in 1951 the lead story is usually a Duck story).
