Donald Duck v2 #26 - Cark Barks art & cover

Carl Barks

Donald Duck v2 #26, 1952 - Donald Duck finally debuts in his own self-titled series. The numbering continues from the previous Four Color issues. Carl Barks delivers a delightfully entertaining Halloween tale. Donald refuses to give out treats to his nephews, doling out tricks instead. A witch intervenes on their behalf, pitting her magic against Donald's stubbornness. Carl Barks parades around a cast of weird creatures to enhance his already spooky artwork. This story was later reprinted in Walt Disney Comics Digest #16. In a separate tale, Gyro Gearloose invents a "goblin foiler" for Huey, Louie and Dewey. The entire issue is elegantly drawn, but the cover is exceptional. Barks captures the essence of the holiday within an expertly designed layout.
