SURVIVING ARTWORK

The Original Script & Sketch Pages

For constructing a story Carl Barks started making a synopsis or story idea, and then he began working on the script. Simultanily he drew the sketch pages for the story and hereafter he would begin at the final inking process.

After retiring Carl was convinced to make story ideas, scripts and sketch drawings.

That continued until 1974 where he made his very last script for the Junior Woodchucks story ; "Captains Outrageous".

Underneath you can compare Carl`s handwritten script and the sketches matching to it.
