ComicBook_Week 4


For my assignment I read several Carl Barks comics and a few Tintin comics by Herge.

I have read many Carl Barks comics before the class, and I have a great fondness of them. Their simple story with interesting characters going treasure hunting is very easy to follow and enjoy. Also a comic book associated with Disney never hurts.  But his works in expanding the entire ‘duck universe’ was astonishing, and his works later fueled Ducktales, and many other great comic artists. Although he didn’t get as much credit as he should, because his comics were listed as ‘by Walt Disney’, many people still knew that what he was doing was great and interesting.

Tintin has a many same qualities, with someone going on adventures ever issue, but had a more serious tone almost. Mostly because it was humans instead of ducks running around. Tintin has more characters to interact with when visiting other countries. And feels like he is after a great adventure rather than the destination. Also, while Scrooge is only after personal gain, Tintin has friends and more purpose to help others and solve problems.Because of this you are more interested to buy more comics, because the story continues from each story. Bringing up old friends and making new ones.
