Book description:

From 1942 to his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks drew Donald Duck comic books (the seventh greatest comic of the twentieth century according to The Comics Journal) for Walt Disney. He took what should have been a bland franchise and turned it into a classic of comics. Drawing on his own experiences (most notably a brief stint as a chicken farmer), Barks went to create a character who was remarkable . . . for not being remarkable. In his pursuit of a good job, his boredom with suburban life, his temper, his squabbles with neighbors, and his resolve in the face of his many failures, Barks's Donald Duck was truly your average American.

Peter Schilling, Jr. is the author of The End of Baseball and writes about film and the arts for a variety of publications. He has been reading and studying Carl Barks's entire catalog since he was a child.

I wonder if this contains any fresh point of views or novel ideas on this subject?
Can't be better or more percipient than Andrae's book. Perhaps simpler and more down to earth, easier to grasp to anyone.

It would be so fantastic if someone would reprint the English version of The Fine Art of Donald Duck and give it an affordable price.
