Description
Carl Barks's "A Christmas for Shacktown" is a masterful 32-pager that showcases the creator's peak period in the early 1950s. Originally published in 1951, this rare volume tells the story of the Duck family's efforts to raise money for a Christmas party for the city's poor children, featuring a Dickensian grittiness that's both surprising and striking. The story culminates in one of Barks's most memorable images, a terrifying bottomless pit that swallows up Scrooge's money. This volume also features two thrilling full-length adventure stories, "The Golden Helmet" and "The Gilded Man", as well as ten smart and funny 10-pagers, including a double whammy of yarns co-starring Donald's cousin. The collection is supplemented with an extensive series of notes and behind-the-scenes essays by leading experts in the field, providing a wealth of insight into Barks's work. The book has been painstakingly recolored to match the original coloring as exactly as possible, making it a must-have for fans of Carl Barks's work.
