At last, Fantagraphics presents Carl Barks's very first Donald Duck stories! This is where it all started, as Carl Barks took control of Donald Duck's comic book adventures and began a series of clever, creative, complex, and comedic stories that would continue under his cartooning brilliance for more than 20 years -- and guarantee his place in comics history.

Volume 1 in The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library is, naturally, filled with firsts: Barks's first comic book story (starring Pluto), the first Donald Duck story created for an American comic book (and also the first to see Donald and his nephews go on a treasure hunt), Barks's first Donald 10-pager, Barks's first truly solo Donald Duck story, and Barks's first solo longer-form Donald Duck adventure ("The Mummy's Ring"). With more than 200 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored, and the insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts, this long-awaited collection of stories makes clear what generations of Disney fans have always known: Carl Barks's work as The Good Duck Artist is some of the greatest American cartooning in the history of the medium.
