Carl Barks
was during his long professional career often inspired by history,
folklore, mythology, myths, and legends
as well as The National Geographic Magazines from where he lifted many
sceneries to be used for his Disney comic book stories and Disney oil
paintings. But he also drew inspiration from a vast number of
influencers from whom he used ideas that he then transformed into his
own artwork.
