Walt Disney's Donald Duck "Christmas in Duckburg": The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Vol. 21

by Carl Barks

Overview

In this collection of internationally acclaimed Donald Duck comics, there’s an impossible Christmas wish, a noble fireman, and a race to the South Seas!

When Donald decides to let his nephews pick their own Christmas present they choose — a Ferris Wheel! Only Uncle Scrooge can pay for a Ferris Wheel, but that he’ll only do it if Donald goes to Canada to pick up a 100-foot Christmas tree for the town square. Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of imaginative exuberance, rollicking high adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Over 170 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored.

About the Author

Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barks’s most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a “Disney Legend,” a special award created by Disney “to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic.” He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world.
