From
the publisher,
Disney
artist Carl Barks (1901-2000) created one of Walt Disney's
most famous characters, Scrooge McDuck. Barks also produced more than
500 comic book stories. His work is ranked among the most widely circulated,
best-loved, and most influential of all comic book art.
Although
the images he created are known virtually everywhere, Barks was
an isolated storyteller, living in the desert of California and
preferring to labor without public fanfare during most of his career.
|
He
created work of such exceptional quality that he was accorded the
greatest autonomy of any Disney artist. He is the only comic book
artist ever to receive a Disney Legends award.
The
influence of Barks's work on such filmmakers as George Lucas and
Steven Spielberg and on such artists as Gottfried Helnwein has extended
Barks's significance far beyond the boundaries of comics. After
Barks's death at the age of ninety-nine, Roy Disney praised him
for his "brilliant artistic vision."
Carl
Barks: Conversations is the only comprehensive collection of
Barks's interviews. It ranges chronologically from the very first
one (with Malcolm Willits, the fan who uncovered Barks's identity)
to the artist's final conversations with Donald Ault in the summer
of 2000. In between are interviews conducted by J. Michael Barrier,
Edward Summer, Bruce Hamilton, and others. Several of these interviews
are published here for the first time.
Ault's
friendship with Barks, ranging over a period of thirty years, provides
an unusually intimate resource not only for standard q&a interviews
but also for casual conversations in informal settings.
Carl
Barks: Conversations reveals previously unknown information
about the life, times, and opinions of one of the master storytellers
of the twentieth century.
Donald
Ault, a professor of English at the University of Florida, is the
author of Narrative Unbound: Re-Visioning William Blake's The
Four Zoas and Visionary Physics: Blake's Response to Newton.
His work has been published in Studies in Romanticism, The Wordsworth
Circle, Modern Philology, and The Comics Journal.

Carl
Barks says |
...I
drew direct onto the drawing paper with a Scripto
light blue pencil, and inked with a 356 Esterbrook
pen. My wife inked the dialogue with an A-5 or B-6 speedball,
and blacked the solid areas with a #2 sable brush.
(Letter to Michael Barrier, January 14, 1967.)
...I
used a #356 Esterbrook
art and drafting pen which could do everything from thin
'fadeaways' to broad accented curve sweeps on foreground circles
such as the ducks' forms. The trick of breaking in a new pen,
I discovered, is to soak it for several minutes in the ink bottle.
Then wipe off the ink and the pen's varnish. For some weird
reason most new pens then start out flexible and free-flowing...
(Letter to Scott Matheson, March 21, 1973) |
