Progetto B.a.r.k.s. #1 - Dall'oro del pirata al mistero della palude - '42 - '45

hello and welcome to the first episode of the project B.A.R.K.S. ! I already know what you're thinking but what the hell it means B.A.R.K.S. project ? an acronym that does so much young woodchucks or Don Rosa's project d.u.c.k. , but which expresses the whole spirit of this project that will accompany me on my channel for a very long time . for your good or bad luck you will decide ! but nuff said and ... let's go! Carl Barks was born in 1901 and published his first story in disney Comics in 1942 , so when has already 41 years in the 40 past years of life, he has done almost everything from the railroad to the breeder of chickens and it is only in '28 who began his career as a cartoonist. initially publish in some magazines of humorous or satirical strips from the stretch close to that of Segar's Popeye and is in '35 who is hired to work in disney studios. At the beginning , his business is that of intercalator , the person who is deals draw the intermediate fragments between one animation and the other soon, however, will be moved to the department scripts on the order of Walt Disney in person, and that is where his innate talent give the best and will be cultivated thanks to advice of the same walt disney the barksian shorts are hilarious , but still doesn't show the great character (Donal Duck) who then carl barks will make us see on paper, on comics in the years to come there to we have a donald duck in shorts who is a caricature comic , short-tempered, stubborn, spiteful , arrogant and inevitably loser. A Donald Duck in this sense carl barks will show us only in some ten - pagers short stories of 10 pages in which gags and comedy physical ( or not) are the masters . in 42 Barks leaving the studios the official excuse is that the air conditioning of the studies cause him sinusitis I have something in common with Barks! as a matter of fact, it is no longer his willing to work in a place where the vast majority of the production is intended for military and propagandistic uses - we are in the Second world war such a character can not just stay away from birds and that is how he starts the activity of chicken farmer to try to make money luckily , I say, will end badly and then will resume its cooperation with Disney, this time for writing and drawing comics his first story is " pluto saves the ship" , but cooperates only as a writer, as the drawings are of another artist. It is not important analyze it here because the story isn't very interesting and is practically a short film on paper but the subsequent story will enter in the legend. I'm talking about " donald duck fonds pirate gold" the plot of the story is simple, but effective black pete , a version of Pete borrowed from tradition of short films, contends the treasure of the Morgan pirate to Donald and Huey, Dewey and Louie, managers of the diner "to the bucket of blood, " who will be involved in the adventure due to the sea parrot Yellow Beak. Even this story isn't completely by barks: alongside him there are Bob Karp to the texts and Jack Hannah the drawings. The two artists will draw as a matter of fact 32 pages each one But this is the first Barks story really interestingly , for different aspects. First, the drawings Here Barks does not have a personal style , since its stroke is still deeply polluted by the canons of the storyboard of the short films As a matter of fact, it is really very difficult to be able to distinguish the authorship of the pages because in this very early stage the stretch of carl barks and jack hannah is really very very similar . illustrations , however, work very well : they are expressive, communicative , always make the right atmosphere in particular , the very successful sequences at night , thanks to a knowing inking , and the landscapes the script is special: even here you can feel the influence of short films it almost looks like that you're reading a storyboard. as indeed it is , as that the story was originally conceived as a short film with goofy and mouse in place of the nephews numerous cartoons mute and gags ends in themselves , albeit hilarious and quite basic dialogues the humor is fine, measured , appropriate to the dark tone of the story , which makes trouble-free use of firearms and cut arms, the characters speakes about dead corpses and Yeallow Beak watches through the skull of a skeleton. Silence, especially present , it's very appropriated for some cartoons , loading them of the right meaning and pathos. special mention for characterization: here Barks has not yet started to work to evolve the character of Donald Duck here is the classic duck of shorts arrogant , fearful, stubborn , conceited interesting instead of the character of the nephews that is also referring to the tradition of short films but is somehow a bit different. I love Peter's characterization, here really unscrupulous and , in particular , the one of Yellow Beak, a very good figure that I appreciated a lot: I also appreciated his interactions with the other characters of the story, especially with Donald at least, even though the excellence that barks reach subsequently are far this really is a really good departure promises and that he would not disappoint you find in the description the link to the page inducks of story, you can look Italian and foreign editions of the story Donald in the incipit is a simple visitor of the Duckburg Museum but he will go in Egypt to follow the traces of one of the nephews, who was kidnapped in mysterious circumstances here will have to deal with theft , mysteries secret and primitive societies and even mummies. here is one of the cornerstones of the Oregon Great Artist, in fact we are opposite the first long story completely written and drawn by carl barks . it is already possible to note some of those who will become the cornerstones of the Disney style or of the Barks' one : first , the accuracy of the backgrounds, never casual , displayed by barks through the careful reading of the national geographic magazine , which had barks between his devoted reader barks wanted that the reader really felt in the point of the adventure's setting not only because he was told by the author and , at the same time , educate the reader in this story you can see that the author was already very careful to the psychology of Donald Duck and nephews and to deepen the close relationship that binds them it is also interesting to note that in disney cartoon to illustrate a date age, does not serve use science-fiction time travel but suffice to simply bring up a secret society which living in primitive a remote place on the planet following the habits and customs of a particular historical period. a fundamental story for the donald duck we know today and for the disney comic we know today pathos , thriller, horror , mystery are the key words of this thrilling adventure to which Barks imposes a really lively rhythm and that it's impossible doesn't excite the reader . The stretch of barks here is still immature , polluted by the canons of the storyboard on which he worked until a few years before, but it is still very pleasant . in description, the link INDUCKS Donald and the nephews , tired of the cold winter paperopoli , sell their home in order to buy a plane to migrate to the most comfortable lands of the south . but the plane of the Ducks is also the only in the city which can land on land covered with snow so, the mayor of Duckburg gives them a load of penicillin to bring to the inhabitants of a Alaskan remote village . acclaimed by the city, the ducks decide to carry out their task , but still don't know they are the unsuspecting couriers of a mysterious package hidden on the plane by some outlaws. Another beautiful long story "Frozen Gold" is far from being one of the barksian peaks, but it is still a beautiful work. The stretch of the Oregon Great Artist begin to sharpen slightly , and barks gaining fluency in construction of the plots . appears evident that the character of Donald Duck is increasingly rendered complex and developed by the Good Artist. The same thing happens for the nephews Barks was interested again to explore the relationship between uncle and nephews. The story that is imbued with the overwhelming barksian comedy , but not miss the dramatic element the villain presented to us is cunning and ruthless and will pose the safety of the ducks in serious danger. Of the story I particularly liked the distressing and destabilizing scenarious of the snowy landscapes and the turn of events after which Donald finds himself blind because of the glare of the snow. This gives to Barks the opportunity to realize two sequences , a humorous one and the other one dramatic , that are really well managed . The genius thinking to make blind the main character it's a challenge, it is a hitchcockian challenge I can say, but that sees Barks triumphing absolutely. Incidentally, the famous Italian cartoonist Roberto Raviola will use as his first name of "Bob La Volpe" , the name that has in this story the villain of the moment then we will adopt another, the one whit is "slightly" more famous... Magnus! Ideal sequel of " Donald Duck and the Frozen Gold" Both stories appear on the number 62 of four color comics and in this adventure the ducks have travelled to the south of the United States, precisely the goal that they had set in the previous adventure Donald , bored and looking for unexplored territories, will want to take a trip in the Everglades that in the Forties really had unknown areas in which to find , as the pokedex is used to say , hordes of wild legendary pokémon Into the everglades the ducks will do a really out of the ordinary experience as a matter of fact, they will meet the terrible Gneezles! Despite of their name rather funny , the Gneezles are among the most hostile and *** creatures ever created by carl barks during of his career , as well as the first ever. In this story you breathe a frightening atmosphere , of mystery, of perpetual danger that will materialize only when the mysterious GNEEZLES decide to come out Barks shows its ability to handle very well the narrative rhytms but this is one thing that characterizes all his work in general . As a matter of fact, reading his stories you never feel that it would take some page more or less, but it's perfect as it is and this, incredibly , it is also for the ten - pagers , in which there are only 10 pages or less available . the first part of the story is a continuum of voltage , that anyway, good or bad, persists throughout the story. Memorable the sequence in which the ducks are forced to disguise himself with some rushes to try not to be found by GNEEZLES as well as memorable are the events that I don't want to spoiler of the penultimate table , which is really brilliant On the side of the drawings barks dares with more particular shots and take more and more familiarize with those who will become its peculiar "dark cartoons" (cartoons against the light) as always INDUCKS link in description but barks is not only long adventures. In the vast production of Good Artist, as a matter of fact, there are a myriad of short stories : the so-called ten - pagers . Not all , however, deserve to be read at any cost In each episode , in the corner of the ten - pagers , will list all the short stories I have most affected, dating back the years examined by video I will mention it, or I will speak only in greater depth thanks to the importance of the story or if I really really liked it nuff said this time and also begin immediately . regarding this three-year 42 44 the first to be mentioned is without a doubt "donald duck and the gorilla " the first story of ducks entirely written and drawn by Carl Barks the "Man of the Ducks" certainly takes inspired by the homonymous short film will be released only in 44 but that was already in working in studios in 42 the story is peppered with hilarious gags helped by the expert ellipses that barks inserted where necessary, and drawings are , though still immature , very nice expressive a curiosity: the newspaper in which Donald imagines to appear if he captured the dangerous ape that is terrorizing the town has some titles very curious like "child shoots mother and kills father" or "hophead elected police chief" completely replaced in italian edition INDUCKS link in description another noteworthy is Donald Duck and the shark in which Donald Duck , lifeguard, tries to shot on a bather particularly attractive He's decided to explore its "cavernadiplatone" Donald makes cool, but nothing. This gives to Barks the opportunity to shows some funny physicial gag which keep the rhytim tight and compelling for the entire duration of the story in the original intentions of Barks, the sexy duck should have be definitely Curvy but this for the editor is not well, and then barks is forced to improvise himself as a surgeon and to operate an intervention of breast reduction and to completely eradicate the *** of the sexy duck     I quote then three stories that have surprised me for their overwhelming comedy Donald - good neighbors, where there is the first battle to the death between Donald and Jones a character already appeared a few months earlier; then "Donald Duck Snow Fun" in which we see a duck really arrogant and presumptuous that will do everything to make you laugh! The ingenious barks' thinking , together with the Italian translation (that is truly hilarious), make this a gem of comedy and I was not expecting , honestly and then, before Iron Man , that's for Donald Duck wearing armor in order to fight his nephews in "the duck in the 0:17:39.050,0:17:39.950 iron pants" really nice and sparkling story practically the same man!
