Gonna nominate Carl Barks and the Adventures of Donald, Scrooge and Family by Slam Bradley. I have very limited experience of Disney comics, just a few late 80s issues published by Egmont UK (no idea if UK originals or reprints). And maybe a few UK annuals. I’ve become more interested in Carl Barks’ Disney, and hope to read more. I don’t mean the word “frivolous” in a pejorative sense (frivolity can be good!), but Donald Duck *may* seem frivolous compared with, say, Watchmen. Not that I believe that, not that that is anything other than an apples and oranges comparison, I’m just saying that the man on the street - not necessarily a comicbook fan - might perceive Donald Duck as frivolous in a way that he wouldn’t with something more adult. Again, not my view, just a possible perception out there. As for the thread, I like it. Not only does it provide the pertinent facts pertaining to each story, it provides some fascinating facts, trivia and historical context.

So far it's been a great overview of the character from the Golden Age forward-- especially for a character who never really had his own title mag. This makes the research more challenging, and also a bit more rewarding for readers... sort of like an extended serialized article from Alter Ego! magazine. Great research by Mr. Gallaher on this one.

Seconding the Hour-Man thread (hopefully before time runs out).

I second the Carl Barks thread. I am woefully unfamiliar with the man's oeuvre.
