"Specifically, of the 17 stories in the book, 13 of them were written and drawn solely by Barks. The remianing four were by Carl Barks (script and layouts) and Daan Jippes (pencils and inks). FWIW, my eye cannot discern the difference between the…"
"I get the impression that some of the later stories were laid out and written by Barks and that all of them were written by him. If he wrote them all, that's good enough for me."
"I've ordered Vol. 29 from InStockTrades. I'm curious, those of you who have your copies. Are these maybe only PARTLY Barks? That's the only thing I can think of that would have prevented them from being part of the Library from the get-go. And I'm…"

I wonder if your LCS guy knew about this. I'm going ahead with ordering them both."

I thought we had, too. The checklist Fantagraphics has been running in the back of each one lists 28 volumes, and I have all 28 sitting on my shelf. These are hitherto unknown (by me, anyway) volumes…"

I may be out of line here but in regards with your exchange with Mark, we both know how he feels about Marvel now. We've both know that his opinion has not and probably will not change though I hope it does. Despite previous advice, I have no doubt that he will continue to comment on how "evil" the Marvel heroes are whenever he can.
However, he has had some medical problems and he has left here before thinking no one wants him here. That's something that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not blaming you for ANYTHING, let me make that clear. I am only trying to prevent another round of the same debate that apparently caused hard feelings before.
You won't change his mind and challenging him about it will only make him defensive, as past interactions show us. If steered clear from the topic of Marvel's Post-Civil War period, he seems happier.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again I'm not faulting you at all. Merely trying to keep the peace, as they say.

Thank you Mr. Dunbar.
Hello John. Thank you for the invitation for friendship. What comic books are you reading?
