TODAY’S FEATURED ITEM:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Good Duck Artist,” Carl Barks excelled at both short humor comics (his ten-pagers in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories<\/em>) and longer adventure stories… in fact he did both better than just about anyone else in comics at the time he worked (using the pseudonymn of “Walt Disney”). <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I have examples of both types of stories today… on the adventure side of things, Rodney Bowcock’s Comics and Stories<\/em><\/a> brings us the Donald Duck classic The Gilded Man<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On the short humor strip side, courtesy of the Fortress of Fortitude<\/em><\/a> we have Donald Duck in Silent Night<\/a><\/em>, doing battle with his ongoing next-door nemesis in the 10-pagers, Neighbor Jones. Although drawn in 1945, this story was initially rejected for violence, and was not printed until decades later.<\/p>\n
