[[File:
Barks is renowned for creating characters such as Scrooge McDuck, Gladstone Gander, Gyro Gearloose, the Beagle Boys, Flinthart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, and many others, as well as setting in stone the base geography of the city of Duckburg. His stories brought in the treasure hunt plot to Duck comics and inspired a generation of people (such as [[George Lucas]], [[Steven Spielberg]], [[Osamu Tezuka]], [[Don Rosa]] and the writers of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'') to replicate the thrill of adventure. He's also responsible for expanding Donald Duck's personality beyond his usual one-note characterization in the [[Classic Disney Shorts]]; reaching levels that were never rivaled in the animated appearances of the character.
After retiring, Barks took up painting (as seen in the page image). First his paintings were unrelated to his comic career, but later he began recreating scenes from Duck stories in paint. One completely original scene led to him writing one more story in retirement, which was drawn by William Van Horn, a younger Duck artist.
Line 10:
Barks' successor is [[Don Rosa]], who received full power over the canon after Barks' retirement and wrote incredibly well-loved tie-ins to the classic stories.
If you've been interested in reading his stories, there's good news for you:[https://web.archive.org/web/20131107140622/http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/01/exclusive-fantagraphics-to-publish-the-complete-carl-barks/ Fantagraphics books is going to republish all of his old Donald Duck stories over a 30 volume series of books in the upcoming years, starting with two volumes soon!]

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: People who have read stories featuring John Rockerduck but never read the only Barks story where he appeared will be surprised to learn he was by no means portrayed as a villain in that story.
* [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses]]: Non-lethal variant, of course. Let's just say Scrooge can kick butt.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Narrating the Obvious]]
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Scrooge keeps on littering them around, referring to his adventurous past.
