Roy E. Disney, The Walt Disney Company
Carl Barks was one of the most gifted artists and inventive storytellers ever to work for Disney and the undisputed 'Comic Book King.' When it came to creating imaginative tales for Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and the other classic Disney characters, no one ever did it better. He challenged our imaginations and took us on some of the greatest adventures we have ever known. His prolific comic book creations entertained many generations of devoted fans and influenced countless artists over the years. Carl's joyful humor and stylish storytelling will certainly be missed but his timeless tales will stand as a legacy to his originality and brilliant artistic vision.
