Do you know who Carl Barks is?

Carl Barks (bnl). Carl Barks) was a… writer, and designer of comic books, from 1920 until 1966. It is considered to be the leading creator of stories of the heroes of the Disney, mainly of Scrooge mcduck, Donald Duck and Huey, Lowie, and Dewey Duck. He was born on March 27, 1901 and died at the age of 99, on August 25, 2000.
Although everything seemed that Carl Barks would have followed the profession of his father, he tried many jobs without match no: a farmer, a lumberjack, a roughneck in the train and many others. However, what ultimately determined the course of his life was a childhood dream. When he was a boy, he noticed a couple of sketches of a classmate, who γελοιογραφούσαν various politicians, and was very impressed.
So excited, he started copying the sketches of the few comics of the era. Also started to learn drawing by mail, but was forced to discontinue after some time. However, he was able to make sketches for newspapers and magazines, which were published. The true beginning of his career, however, happened at the end of the 1920s, where the περιοδικόJudge published plans. Finally, I just saved enough money he moved to Minnesota and became a permanent member of the magazine’s Calgary Eye Opener, where he worked as a cartoonist.
In 1935, Carl Barks taught me that Walt Disney was looking for cartoonists for the animations that he made at that time. Carl he applied and eventually was hired, but as a consequence was forced to move to Los Angeles.
Because of many factors, including the war, the Burkes resigned from the studio Disney in 1942. The first story, with ducks that made it was The pirate’s gold (bnl). Donald Duck finds Pirate gold), starring Donald Duck’s three nephews (Huey, Lowie, Dewey Duck, known in Greece as nephews and nieces), and a parrot-a pirate. But it’s not fixed on his own, but he collaborated with Jack Hannah. Later he was hired at the magazine comics Walt disney’s Comics and Storiesως screenwriter. Soon, however, he has proven his design skills and impressed the editor of the magazine, who commissioned the design of the sketch.
Carl Barks, in a period of 23 years, he designed more than 500 stories with the ducks of Disney. However, in 1966, at the age of 65 years old had the time of his resignation. But then he began to recognise the work of, because the magazines that printed his stories have mentioned his name, something that doesn’t happen until then. Despite the departure from the comics continued to make paintings based on his stories, and today most of them are sold at astronomical sums. Finally, he has even written a story in 1996, with the theme, the search for the Trojan Horse and the title “Horsing Around With History”, designed by the talented επίγονός, William Van Horne.
The stories of Barks is mostly comical, particularly those which have as their heroes Donald Duck and his nephews. Nevertheless, he claimed he didn’t he made it “just for laugh”, but that was based on his experiences and life lessons. Also stated he identified himself with Donald, so it has spent so much time in this character, even though I had created the same as other heroes of his stories. But not all stories like that. He has made too many stories that involved Scrooge mcduck (known in Greece as uncle Scrooge), which have a more “adventurous” in nature rather than comical. The stories were printed and reprinted in magazines around the world, while some of these are made objects of study in universities. Some of these circulate in the precise volumes for collectors. Many stories are from the most well-known and classic comics
Carl Barks is considered even today as the leading creator of stories with heroes the ducks of Disney ever. It is also one of the biggest legends in the history of comics. In the years after his retirement from active duty occurred several would-be “successors”, without, however, someone can be compared directly with him. Today, as the main successor of the project is considered to be the Don Rosa, creator of, among other things, of the great work The Life and the state of Scrooge mcduck.
