Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge in Color [Signed, Numbered]

Notes: A collection of three color Scrooge McDuck works by Carl Barks: the comic-book story Christmas on Bear Mountain; and two children's books, Uncle Scrooge's Christmas Carol and Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: The Lemonade King.

With storyboard paintings by Norman McGary and commentary by Geoffrey Blum.

This is one of 750 copies signed by Barks on a bookplate mounted on the front pastedown. 9-1/4 by 12-1/4 inches in a slipcase.

Barks worked for the Walt Disney Company for six or seven years in the 1930s and early 1940s, working on Donald Duck cartoon shorts. After he left Disney, he continued to write and illustrated Donald Duck comic books. Like most of the Disney comics artists, his work was anonymous but his distinctive style led fans to identify him as the "good duck artist." His work was an early influence for R. Crumb and other underground cartoonists as well as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

Edition + Condition: First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed by Barks on bookplate no. 377. In a fine slipcase.

Publication: Prescott, AZ: Gladstone Publishing, 1987.
