Grandma Duck's Farm Friends / Four Color Comics v2 #1010 - Carl Barks art

Four Color Comics v2 #1010

(Walt Disney's) Grandma Duck's Farm Friends / Four Color Comics v2 #1010, 1959 - After years as a supporting character, the ever-maternal Grandma Duck appears in her own short-lived series. All four stories are peppered with various supporting characters, including Uncle Scrooge, Dumbo, Big Bad Wolf, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck and his trio of nephews. Carl Barks' clever scripts are visualized with thoroughly likable drawings. Throughout the issue his rural settings are drawn with nostalgia and skillful simplicity. All four tales are equally enjoyable, but the Scrooge story is my personal favorite. The following stories were reprinted years later: "Sheepish Cowboys" (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #293 and Walt Disney Comics Digest #50), "Flying Farm Hand" (Walt Disney Comics Digest #29), "Weather Watchers" (Walt Disney Comics Digest #56). This is 1 of 3 Grandma Duck's Farm Friends issues by Barks.
