Comic Books: Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge's Adventures

Today I visited a well-beloved classic which has inspired many, Uncle Scrooge's Aventures. Carl Barks created an entire world for two rather simple Disney characters, Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, giving them friends, family, and a colorful variety of enemies, the most prominent of which being the Beagle Boys. Uncle Scrooge, Donald, and the triplet brothers Huey, Dewey and Louie find themselves in a new adventure just about every issue, which usually entails getting back Scrooge's gold from crooks or going on an expedition to find more. Each panel is lovingly filled with excellent expression, dynamic shots and entertaining story, which is why the series was picked up for two T.V. shows, one being made as recently as 2017.

The gags are a step back from Looney Tunes humor, and the jokes a bit more sophisticated, but the endearing thing about these comics is that they dont feel either too childish or grown up to enjoy and satisfy people of all ages. Barks' expoundment of these characters has given many children-- and adults entertainment and a love for the francise that still hasnt died out.
