As this is the 29th volume, we're getting close to the finish line of the Fantagraphics Complete Carl Barks Library, however... When this series was first announced, it was stated that it woud run 30 volumes in total. But, the fact that this volume does not yet reach the end of the Barks run of Donald Duck 10-pagers from Walt Disney Comics & Stories, and that there are over two dozen issues of the Barks issues of Uncle Scrooge yet to be collected, indicates that the series will extend several volumes beyond its initially stated length.
Here we entirely in the 1960s, and we experience the expiry of the long running Dell Comics imprint and see the emergence of its replacement, Gold Key Comics – but Barks just keeps on keeping on, here in thirteen more classic ten-pagers, including "The Master Wrecker," "Merry Ferry," "Movie Mad," "Raven Mad," the titular "Cape Quack" and more!
These are then followed by a quartet of Junior Woodchuck tales scripted and laid out by Barks at some point after he had ceased to draw himself (likely the late 1960s and/or early 1970s; as of this writing we're not sure). The four tales collected here were re-drawn – in very Barksian fashion – at the dawn of the new millennium by Daan Jippes. Good stuff!
