Donald Duck / Four Color v2 #263 - Carl Barks art & cover

Carl Barks

(Walt Disney's) Donald Duck v1 / Four Color v2 #263, 1950 - Donald takes on a new salesman job, requiring him to travel to a remote indian village in Canada. Carl Barks delivers an exceptional work showcasing the culture of the Pacific Northwest indians. Totem poles are nicely detailed, infused with a humorous touch. This is exemplified on the delightful cover concept. Barks' second tale places the characters in Tibet, in search of the mythical unicorn. While somewhat less decorative, the drawings maintain the same high level of draftsmanship. "Trail of the Unicorn" was later reprinted in Donald Duck #252 and "Land of the Totem Poles" was reprinted in Donald Duck #278. This is 14 of 43 Donald Duck issues by Barks.
