BORROWED TITLES
Several of Barks' comic book titles may seem vaguely familiar to us, and this may be because Barks took some of his titles from current popular culture. Maybe he heard of a new book or saw a film and decided to use its title for his own purpose. If so, he did NOT use any of the plotlines, just the titles. Of course, this is only speculation, but if you take a look at the collected material, you will probably agree, that some of the comic book titles listed on this page are not necessarily Barks' own brainchildren.
