Walking dead comic

Carl Barks in Photoplay Magazine April 1938

Walking dead comic watch online Before Carl Barks became an artist for Western/Dell publishing and started to write and draw comics in 1942, he worked for the story department at Disney animation. As a Story Editor, and later Story Director, he worked on no less than 36 Donald Duck cartoon shorts that Disney released between 1937 and 1944. But, unlike others, he never worked on a feature, like Snow White.

Mike Barriers acclaimed book on Barks shows two photos of him with Harry Reeves and the other guys, goofing around while presenting the storyboards for Good Scouts, the Donald short that released in July 1938, just a few months after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. According to Mikes book, the photos were used for an article on Snow White in 1938, which is of course very strange, as Barks never worked on Disneys first animated feature (though he did create some gags for Bambi). So I tracked it down and here it is, you can read the full article below. Its called How they made Snow White and was written by Kirtley Baskette, published in the April issue of Photoplay magazine.

These scans are pretty high res, so it should be easy to read. However, you could be having some trouble as the sentences on the final pages seem to drop off in the side columns. I have therefore added some extra pages from a different copy at the bottom, that I got from Devyn Samara. They arent as High res and have some glare because they were photographed instead of scanned, but you can at least follow along better if you are having trouble reading it.

Below: the first piece of the article with the Good Scouts photo as a header! I think the editors must have been impressed with the all the action going on surrounding the storyboard drawings. Barks is of course on the left, Harry Reeves in the middle.
