Barks Library Special - Onkel Dagobert #5

Part of Egmont Ehapa's beloved *Barks Library* reprint series, this 1998 German-language collection brings together Carl Barks's work on Scrooge McDuck — here rendered as *Onkel Dagobert* — in a handsome special edition. The cover, penciled and inked by Barks himself, puts Scrooge front and center in his signature naval cap and coat, striding purposefully along the railing of what appears to be a ship's deck with a seagull soaring in the bright sky behind him — all the confidence of a duck who has a few trillion reasons to keep moving. With story writing credited to both Carl Barks and Erika Fuchs, this fifth volume is a fine showcase of the creative talent that made Scrooge one of comics' most enduring characters.
