Carl Barks
Carl Barks was a writer-artist best known for his Disney duck stories featuring Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, where he shaped the tone, worldbuilding, and long-form adventure format that defined those characters in comics. His work is closely tied to the core Duck books that anchor Disney collecting, and his stories and character creations serve as reference points for collectors focused on artist-driven storytelling and enduring demand for classic Disney material.
