This volume prints 13 complete large- four-tier Carl Barks stories in their original- full-size black-and-white format – one full page of art on each page of the book! These 13 stories of the combined Barney Bear & Benny Burro feature were originally published in Our Gang Comics #11-23- and another volume – containing the rest of the stories- from Our Gang Comics #24-36 – is planned for next year- yielding Barks’ Complete MGM art in 3 volumes! This second volume measures 18′ wide and 26′ tall and weighs in at about 8 pounds! Looking at these pages as printed in this book is like looking at the pages fresh from the master’s drawing board! The stories from are printed one art page to the book page- with a live image size of 16′ x 23 1/4′ – the size that Barks drew almost all his original art at- beginning in December 1943 until he retired in 1966- with only very rare exceptions. These pages are printed from proofs which are derived from the 7′ x 10′ photo negatives taken of the original art between December 1943 and December 1945. Looking at the stories in this book really is like looking at pages of Barks’ original art because Barks didn’t make many mistakes that needed correction in his art. His main use of white ink was not to correct errors- but to delineate details in black on black images or add pie cuts to the ducks’ eyes.
