Barks Library Special - Onkel Dagobert #16

Part of Egmont Ehapa's beloved Barks Library series, this 2000 German-language volume presents Carl Barks's tale "Der Fliegende Holländer" — and the cover, pencilled and inked by Barks himself, sets the mood perfectly. A massive, storm-tossed sailing ship surges through churning waves while a small vessel carrying what appear to be duck characters scrambles below, dwarfed by the spectacle. It's a wonderfully dramatic composition that captures exactly the kind of grand nautical adventure Barks brought to life for Onkel Dagobert and his nephews.
