5.0 out of 5 stars
3 classic Carl Barks stories,
This review is from: Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: Hawaiian Hideaway (Gladstone Comic Album Series No. 11) (Paperback)
Another fine graphic novel of duck comics master Carl Barks reprints from Gladstone comics, printed in 1988. These over-sized albums were printed years before Gladstone Comics and Another Rainbow Publishing tacked the comprehensive and chronological softcover Carl Barks Library in Color (CBLC).
The brand new cover is by modern duck artist Don Rosa. The colors and clarity of the image in these books is light years ahead of the comics, and the cover art in the series is much better than the CBLC. 1) "Hawaiian Hideaway" an early story first published in Dell Four Color Comics Uncle Scrooge #4 of December 1953. (Which was actually the first Uncle Scrooge to get its own number, the first three Scrooge Comics were one shots). This story is also known as "Menehune Mystery" and "Menehune Island". It is quite long at 32 pages, with script and art by Carl Barks. The nephews and Donald help their Uncle Scrooge in an adventure story that includes robots, exotic travel, kidnapping, a steamer ship with a harpoon, mythical tiny people know as the Menehune, the Beagle Boys, and a volcano. The essence of the story has Scrooge buying a private tropical island in an effort once again to hide his money, which he has canned to disguise as spinach. 2) "Krankenstein Gyro" first printed in Dell Four Color Comics Uncle Scrooge #26 June 1959. A Gyro Gearloose 4 page story, the inventor tries to create life. Script and art by Carl Barks. 3) "A Financial Fable" it was first printed in Dell Comics Walt Disney Comics & Stories #126 of March 1951. Art and script by Carl Barks, and this was a 10 page story that Barks was proud of from a technical viewpoint, he really liked the rhythm of the story according to the Mike Barrier book on Barks. In the story, Scrooge hides his money once again, this time in a huge corn crib. A tornado throws his money all over the country and he is broke. Can his business savvy bring his money back? Altogether a terrific book, still at a bargain price.
