Publisher: Editions Enfin
Publication date: 1979
Country: Germany or France
Language: English
Cover type: paperback
Type: collection
Width: 25,5 cm
Height: 18 cm
Pages: 274

Description: This is not an official publication. Contains all Barks' non-Disney stories (except the three script-only ones). The quality of the print varies throughout the book, since the stories are greyscale reproductions of the original comics. This is the completest collection of Barks' non-Disney stories ever released.

Publisher: [Carl Barks Studio?]
Publication date: [1997?]
Country: USA
Cover type: stapled
Type: pamphlet
Width: ... cm
Height: ... cm
Pages: ...
Cover price: [none]

Additional credits: Stapled pink-coloured pages, monochrome xerox-quality, lacking any clear internal coherence. Contains a few rarities, and some interviews. These have yet to be indexed on this site.
In September and/or October 1998 notes, Barks has identified some of the interviews as being fake or at least dubious.

Backstage: Apparently, this stapled compilation was made during the "Carl Barks Studio" years and sent to people requesting information on Carl Barks. Contents:

diving scrooge discovers old vase
Where Do We Go Next? [detailed pencil]
Horsing Around With History [text-only script]: incomplete; one page

New material:

... diving scrooge discovers old vase

Notes: As the compilation is stapled, it's difficult to determine if more than one version exists. The compilation has also been refered to as a orange pamphlet, instead of pink, so maybe there are more versions. Otherwise, i't a matter of discussion whether the pages are pink or yellow.

Questions: Are there different versions of this publication?

Description: Text by Geoffrey Blum. Contains an introduction by Carl Barks, with two sketches: Donald front view and Gladstone rear view; two chapters (1."The Artist", 2."The Studio") on how a series of porcelain figurines were made of some of Barks' paintings; and a 1991, December 10-11 interview with Carl Barks by Geoffrey Blum.

The book contains full-colour photo's; paintings; and some sketches by Barks, made for (some of) the figurines. Highligthed figurines are Always Another Rainbow [figurine], Sixty Years Quacking [figurine], and Lavender and Old Lace [figurine].

Contents:

74-23 Always Another Rainbow
75-02 Dude for a Day

Notes: The selection of paintings seems to hint at plans for making figurine versions of the selected paintings. It is currently unclear if time out for fun [figurine?], christmas composition [figurine?], flubbity dubbity duffer [figurine?], and luck of the north [figurine?] have really been made.

Publisher: Hamilton Comics
Publication date: 1998(?)
Country: USA
Cover type: softcover
Type: facsimile magazine
Width: 8,25 inch
Height: 11 inch inch
Pages: 32

Description: Facsimile edition of 1932 magazine "Coocoo".

Text from a Bruce Hamilton Company advertisment: "Carl Barks worked for The Calgary Eye-Opener, an adult humor magazine, years before he joined the Disney Studio. But a he also collaborated, in 1932, with Eye-Opener editor Ed Sumner to produce Coo-Coo, a less-risqué one-shot designed to test the newsstand potential for such a magazine.
Coo-Coo shows much of the burgeoning genius of Carl Barks, who created about one-third of the gags, done mostly in line and wash artwork. There never was a second issue, and the first must have been distributed in an extremely small quantity, as there is only one copy known to exist today."

Description: Contains 40 of the 75 colour drawings Barks made for the celebration of his 96th birthday. The drawings (approx. 6 x 7 1/2 inch) are mounted on individual pages as tipped-in color plates. The effect is one of moving through an art gallery, viewing pieces of art "hanging on the walls". The drawings can be removed and framed, or stored in some other way. The artistic themes are a combination of the new and the familiar, with an entertaining mix of color and sight gags.

The art book has a gold dust jacket, and is stored in a black fabric hard case stamped in gold to create the illusion of a safe, developing the "treasury" theme. The storage case is filled with shredded City of Duckburg currency, in "100 Quacker" denominations (with an image of Barks in the center). Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity signed by Carl Barks.
