Carl Barks Digital Archive Addendum DD European Comics

Carl Barks Digital Archive Addendum Donald Duck European Comics: CBDA Addendum DD European Comics This is an update of the previous Carl Barks Library Collection and Supplementary bit torrents. This collection consists of the newest, best scans of Carl Barks stories in Carl Barks Library order plus final stories, animation and extras. Set 01: Donald Duck 4c0009-4c0223 Set 02: Donald Duck 4c0238-138 Set 03: Uncle Scrooge 4c0386-020 Set 04: Uncle Scrooge 021-043 Set 05: Uncle Scrooge 044-071 Set 06: Miscellaneous Set 07: WDC&S 031-094 Set 08: WDC&S 095-166 Set 09: WDC&S 167-229 Set 10: WDC&S 230-312 Set 11: Early Work and Animation Set 12: Artwork, Articles and Final Stories CBDA Addendum DD European comics (for future scanlation purposes) ********************************* Enjoy! Here's all the European Donald Duck comics by Carl Barks that can be used for scanlation. I unpacked most of the comics by changing .cbr to .rar and then used winrar software. Then the comics were sorted into Carl Barks library sets. Mostly. You can see which comics would be good for scanlation in the request list that has a star next to the story. I still need to go through Set 9 and 10 to confirm which European DD comics would be suitable for scanlation. The CBDA comics scan request list will be updated as I go along. It's a big project for me just to do one comic. So, if someone would like to do one, then post a message and then a download link when ready. Thanks! Set 9 will be ready in 2-3 weeks. ************* I am still putting together set 6,9-12. I found 20 HQ comics in Italian for Set 9. Then I found 50 HQ comics in German, which has comics for Set 9, 10 and other stories. So, if I can't find an english HQ comic for Set 9, then I have the option to do a scanlation. 1 page scanlated takes me 20-30 minutes! The titles and sound effects words take the most time. (Tekton pro ex and Tahoma (italic), 20 pts, bold) I'm not sure if I can find the patience to do any of the longer stories such as Rug Riders or Luck of the North. Maybe a group scanlating project? I can upload an organized un-scanlated italian and german DD comics, if anybody's interested. I'm hoping that more recent english scans show up though. If I get any longer stories scanlated, then I will include them in the final CBDA complete set gigatorrent Set 11: a. Barks Bear book and updated scans b. Unexpurgated Barks (done) c. Chronological DD by CB mkv videos (done) d. Pluto saves the ship scanlation (B&W only, Italian color comic warped scan) e. Coo Coo # 01 magazine reprint (done) Set 12: a. artwork i. The Fine Art of DD book ii.Golden Treasury of CB iii. Animal Quackers iv. Final paintings v. CB comic covers vi. CBL cards b. other animation i. Ducktales CB cartoons ii. Spirit of 43, etc. c. articles i. Thomas Andrae, Michael Barrier, Donald Ault, etc. d. Final CB stories e. Extras i. Abbeville CB trilogy ReConstruction: (Abbeville has cropped CB's work too much and has made these comics incompatible for updating comics.) Donald Duck (done), DD & his nephews (done) and Uncle Scrooge ii. Authorized DD biograpy + CD of Barks interview iii. maybe, US life and times iv. Don Rosa related stories ********** The excellent free disney comics website is available if you just want to read the un-cropped comics online. Much thanks goes to that guy who has posted many more recent scans of wdc&s stories. It gives me a quite a few more comics to update though. The CBDA collection will be complete, but if you can find better scans than posted within this collection, then please leave a message and post up your comic scans. I will update this request list as I go along. Thanks for helping! ******************************************* Scan Request of more recent colored published issues: ******************************************* (Gold Key comics are not as good as original Dell comic.) * = german, italian comics available for scanlation Set 1: DD 4c0108 Seals are so Smart DD 4c0189 The Old Castle's Secret * Set 2: DD 4c0238 Voodoo Hoodoo (censored version), Slippery shine DD 4c0256 Luck of the North * DD 4c0263 A fetching price DD 4c0318 No Such Varmint * DD 4c0367 Treeing off DD 4c0422 Stable prices DD 045 Power plowing, Courtside heating DD 051 All season hat DD 079 Poor Loser DD 138 A Day in a Duck's Life (Daan Jippes) Set 3: US 4c0386 Soupline eight US 4c0456 Somethin' fishy here * US 005 Hospitality week US 006 Dig it US 007 Temper tampering US 008 Campaign of Note US 009 Ski lift letdown, Cast of Thousands US 012 A sweat deal US 013 Art of security US 014 Fireflies are free US 015 Buffo or bust US 016 Fertile assets, Backyard bonanaza US 017 China shop shakeup, Early to build US 018 Net worth, Relative reaction Set 4: US 021 Getting Thor, Dogged determination US 022 Going to pieces, That sinking feeling US 023 US and the fabulous tycoon *, All choked up US 025 Bill wind, News from afar US 027 Firefly tracker *, US crawls for cash US 028 The money hat US 030 Pipeline to danger *, War paint US 031 All at sea, The balmy Swami, The secret book US 033 Thumbs up, The big bobber, Bongo on the Congo (censored) * US 035 The golden nugget boat * US 036 The moneybag goat * US 038 Unsafe safe, Playmates, Monkey business, Collection Day US 039 Art Appreciation US 042 Dueling Tycoons US 043 For old dime's sake WDCS 262 Rags to Riches Set 5: US 047 No bargain, Up and at it US 048 The Many faces of Magica DeSpell * US 049 Loony Lunar Gold Rush * US 050 Rug Riders in the Sky * US 055 Ticking detector US 057 Plummeting with precision, Snake Take US 058 Laundry for less US 061 So far and no safari, Down for the count, Top wages, It happened one winter US 071 King Scrooge the First (Daan Jippes) Set 6: 4c1025 Trail tycoon 4c1150 Daisy Duck: Small fryers, The inventive gentleman, Undercover girl 4c1055 Daisy Duck: The New girl, Tight shoes 4c1161 Grandma Duck 4c1073 Grandma Duck: Mopping up 4c1095 Gyro Gearloose: His shining hour 4c1184 Gyro Gearloose: Mechanized mess, The old timer DBP 01 Forbidium Money Bin DD tells about kites HDL Woodchucks: 6,7,9,16,19,21,23,25 (Daan Jippes) Set 7: WDCS 034 Good deeds * WDCS 074 The tax collectors WDCS 094 Donald of the Coast Guard Set 8: WDCS 097 Pearls of wisdom WDCS 101 DD's Worst Nightmare WDCS 108 The great Duckburg frog jumping contest Set 9: WDCS 187 Searching for a successor * WDCS 190 In the Swim WDCS 192 The Master WDCS 193 A Whale of a Story * WDCS 196 Statues of Limitations * WDCS 199 Gyro's Imagination Invention * WDCS 204 Losing Face * WDCS 210 The Half-Baked Baker * WDCS 221 Tracking Sandy WDCS 222 Master mover * WDCS 223 Spring Fever * WDCS 224 The Beachcombers' Picnic * WDCS 227 The Black Forest rescue * WDCS 229 The Good Deeds Set 10: WDCS 259 Jungle Bungle Set 11: Pluto saves the ship 1942 * 4c0076 Andy Panda The widow's doughnuts 1943 Our Gang: Barney Bear and Benny Burro 08 With a little help to my friends 1943 09 Playful mountain goat 1944 11 Happy Hound: Mother is a wolf's best friend 1944 15 How to be a matador 1944 16 Cougar, cougar shining bright 1945 18 Serenade for senorita 1945 19 Snap goes the turtle 1945 23 The sounds of silence 1946 25 The mastery of archery 1946 26 The compleat angler 1946 27 The dauntless dogcatchers 1946 28 Modern art, and all that 1946 29 Somewhere under the rainbow 1946 30 A hole in one 1946 31 Ol' McElk, he had a farm 1947 32 Klipto Kleppo strikes again 1947 33 Uncle Grizzly 1947 34 Home, sweet home no more 1947 35 Riches, riches in the wall 1947 Set 12: Somewhere beyond Nowhere (Daan Jippes) ****************** Video VHS Request: ****************** 01.

Pirate bay was not uploading the file folder of comics properly, so I packed the comics into one .iso file. You can type the .iso to .rar and unpack the files with Winrar software.
Some recommendations for scanlation. But, I'm not an expert.
I use paint.net sofware for scanlation.
Text settings are Tekton pro ex and Tahoma (italic), 20 pts, bold, but you can see what works best for you.
I've tried copying text from the original into the european comics and that sometimes works. But, the scanlation looks better with typed out text with paint.net. The trickiest part is the sound effects words and the main titles. I do so-so at that.
To convert the jpeg files back into .cbr (comic book reader format:
1. put all the jpegs into one folder
2. use winrar sofware to compress the folder into one .rar file.
Necessary Winrar settings:
check that compression method is "best"
and check "put recovery record"
and "test archived files"
3. type .rar to .cbr
4. install comic display software
There you go!

Looking forward to set 11 and set 12, any idea when they will be up?

kaarma33 (2010-06-07)

I'm giving myself 2-3 weeks per set because I notice the faster I try to get this done the more I have to go back and make corrections.
So, Set 11 and 12 are likely to be available by Sept/Oct 2010.
I've completed reviewing 5 of 61 comics for Set 9. Set 6 is going to be done next and then Set 10 with Set 11 and 12 last. Then a final gigatorrent once it looks like all the comics are sorted out.
Important note:
The CBDA addendum set is a untranslated/unscanlated assortment of unpacked comics organized into Carl Barks library sets for future scanlation purposes. If you would like to see the original complete European comics, then go over to rapid4me and search for "donald duck album".

kaarma33 (2010-06-09)

Alternatively to scanlation, B&W stories can be re-colored.
I made a re-coloring attempt on a B&W one pager, FC178 Machine Mix up
The re-colored one pager turned out pretty well and so I'm including it in the one pagers .cbr in Set 9.
I still have CBL volume 1 and 3 to get B&W scans of the non-updated stories. But, after spending over an hour on just one page, FC178 Machine mix up, I doubt I would take on a whole story like "Seals are so Smart".

kaarma33 (2010-06-21)

BiWeekly Update:
Set 9 is not quite ready.
20 out of 63 comics done.
Set 9 will have as a bonus 22 updated comics for the other sets, One pagers comic collection and Donald Duck Abbeville ReConstruction (book 1 of Abbeville trilogy). That's ready to go!
I also finished organizing the Fine Art of DD pictures collection as well as the rest of CB's paintings.
Set 6 will include as a bonus some B&W scans from CBL Set 1 and 3 for future re-coloring projects and Uncle Scrooge Abbeville ReConstruction (book 2 of Abbeville trilogy).
I'm slowing down due to developing some repetitive strain pain in my right arm.

kaarma33 (2010-07-05)

BiWeekly Update:
Set 9 has been all sorted through and request list updated. It's just a matter of cropping.
23 more comics to get Set 9 done by the end of this week.
I've just been very busy working and shopping for a car, since my car was rear-ended 2 weeks ago.

kaarma33 (2010-07-14)

BiWeekly UPDATE:nnI found 1-133 of 134 issues of Netherland comics series: De Beste VerHalen Donald Duck. Most of these Netherlands DD comics are colored much nicer than the German and Italian DD comics and can be used for scanlation purposes to update the Dell and Gold Key comics. So, I was going to post up these comics, but there is some problem about submitting new bittorrents on piratebay. nn20 more comics to fix up and then set 9 will be available by next week.nNow that I have a car, I can get back to the CBDA project.

kaarma33 (2010-07-30)

BiWeekly UPDATE:
I have 3 more ten pagers to finish for Set 9 and one updated comic scan to do. So, set 9 will probably ready to be posted by tomorrow.
Set 10 is about 1/3 checked over for new versions of comics. I haven't cropped any comics in that set yet. Then I was thinking of doing Set 10 next and then Set 6, 11 and 12. Lastly, a bittorent will be made of the whole CBDA with updated comics in place.
The Piratebay server is still under construction, so I am unable to update the CBDA request list. The request list will show which issues can be scanlated from the two European DD comics collections that have been already posted.
If anybody would like to do a scanlation of the European DD comic or re-colour a B&W DD comic, then post a pm and share, thanks!

kaarma33 (2010-08-01)

Set 09 WDC&S 167-229 now available!
See Set 9 for updated request list.

Thank you so much kaarma33 for the great torrent. But I'm sorry to say there is hardly any seed. I shall be very grateful if you kindly reseed from 20:30 (8:30 P.M.) GMT to 02:30 (2:30 A.M.) GMT just once. I have 2mbps connection and so hopefully it'll be downloaded in the 6 hrs. Thank you.
