Barks used a lot of villains in his stories but no matter how bad
they were, they all had an undefinable jauntiness. Most of them
are in fact quite likable. This is especially true for recurring
characters such as The Beagle Boys who basically just fumble
around, and for Donald Duck's infamous neighbour. Not to mention
Magica de Spell and her many ambitious plans that will never
really succeed.
This page, however, deals only with the crooks who made a single
appearance. A few of the villains who stepped into the spotlight
for a brief moment, but nevertheless left a lasting impression in
our minds.
