Carl Barks was a Walt Disney Studios story artist in the 1930s working primarily on the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck short cartoons; from 1942 to 1966 he wrote and drew the brilliant Donald Duck comic book stories for Western Publishing (Dell/Gold Key imprints). Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Gyro Gearloose, and other Disney characters were created by Mr. Barks and first appeared in his stories; he is universally recognized as the best Disney comic book artist-writer. He commenced a series of oil paintings of the Disney Ducks in the 1970s, and the first limited edition lithograph was issued by Another Rainbow in 1982.
