About this Collection

This volume collects classic Donald Duck stories by the legendary Carl Barks, presented in the order they were originally published. Part of Fantagraphics' comprehensive series restoring Barks' Disney work with high-quality reproduction and extensive notes, it showcases the storytelling and artistry that earned Barks the nickname 'the Good Duck Artist.'

In "Christmas on Bear Mountain," Donald Duck’s holiday season takes a wild turn when he accidentally receives a full-size World War II bomber instead of a model plane, setting off a chain of events that sends the ducks to the fictional South American nation of Volcanovia. There, they discover they can only leave the country by becoming national heroes—a challenge Donald, ever the bumbling optimist, attempts with predictably chaotic results. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, with colors by Rich Tommaso and letters by Barks himself, this festive tale from The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #5 showcases the legendary cartoonist’s signature blend of whimsy and slapstick, all framed by Barks’ own classic cover art.
