If you love the Duck family these are just essential. I can't beliece i just herd about these 2 series, from Carl and Don. Fortunetly they were all still in stock. Buy them!

Disney on its best with the GREAT Carl Barks

This is the 9th volume published in this series, the volumes being published out of order. It will be the chronologically 13th volume of the completed series.If you're a fan of Carl Barks ten page satiric stories set in Duckburg - the kind of stories that inspired countless Simpsons episodes, with Homer Simpson in Donald's loser everyman role - then you're in for a treat. This volume has Barks at the absolute peak of his powers, creating creative laugh-out-loud scenarios in pretty much every story.Included are celebrated classics such as the 'Hypno-gun' story (Donald gets his hands on a toy hypnosis gun that he THINKS can actually hypnotize people) , the 'Omelet' story (semi-autobiographical, based on Barks real-life experience as a failed chicken farmer) and the 'Flipism' story (Donald joins a self-help cult that decides everything in life by flipping a coin)Comics simply don't get better than this.Fans of the longer Barksian globe-trotting adventure stories are less lucky this time around. There is only one long story, and that's the Halloween themed title story, a very good longer adaptation of the short Donald animated movie "Trick Or Treat" (which was released around the same time, in 1952).There's also a story about Donald growing pumpkins, and a short one page Halloween gag story, so yes, this volume has earned its Halloween theme.Volumes published so far:#, Title character, Title, year5 Donald Duck “Christmas on Bear Mountain”, 19476 Donald Duck “The Old Castle’s Secret”, 19487 Donald Duck “Lost in the Andes”, 19488 Donald Duck “Trail of the Unicorn”, 19499 Donald Duck “The Pixilated Parrot”, 195011 Donald Duck “A Christmas For Shacktown”, 195112 Uncle Scrooge “Only a Poor Old Man”, 195213 Donald Duck “Trick or Treat”, 195214 Uncle Scrooge “The Seven Cities of Gold”, 1954
