Title: Walt Disney's Donald Duck finds Pirate Gold! (Gladstone Giant Album Comic Series No. 1) by Carl Barks, Hanna Barks ISBN: 0-944599-20-6 Publisher: Gladstone Pub Ltd Pub. Date: August, 1989 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $8.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)

Summary: Historic but dissapointing first...
Comment: While this Duck book is significant as not only the first 'original' Donald Duck comic-book but also as the first Duck work by Carl Barks (he did not write it and drew only part of it) it is a dissapointing read, especially when compared with the far better Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge books which followed. Adapted from an unproduced Disney animated film, the pacing is slow and the story, unexciting and uninvolving. I found it very tedious to get through. Better to pick this one up after you've read the good stuff (especially try the Uncle Scrooge story "Back to the Klondike" to see what I mean.)
Rating: 5
Summary: Get it while you can!
Comment: "Reading level: Baby-Preschool"!? Try "Preschool-Deathbed." Most people might smirk at the idea of "Disney Comics," but legendary cartoonist Carl Barks imbued Donald and Uncle Scrooge with life, warmth, energy, and adventure. This is great reading for even the most cynical (who will delight in the fact that Barks got away with giving substance to Disney's cookie-cutter characters for decades). But Gemstone's contract with Disney has expired, and negotiations are under way. Barks has been getting a lot of attention in recent years (particularly since his death at the age of 99 last year), and Disney may decide to bring him "back into the fold." But they would never treat the work with the respect with which Gemstone has, and which it deserves. My recommendation: snatch up anything you can find with Carl Bark's name on it before it goes out of print (which might be very soon). Enjoy it yourself, and save it for your children (or nieces and nephews) and grandchildren (or grandnieces and grandnephews). Just don't let the little whipper-snappers damage the merchandise!
