Person biography:
Born on March 27, 1901, in Oregon, Carl Barks left school at 15 and spent the next two decades in "grim and demanding jobs" such as rancher, logger, railroad repairman, and printer. He became an illustrator for a humor magazine, eventually becoming its most productive member. He joined the Disney studio in 1935, where he became a story man on the animated cartoons of Donald Duck and worked with artists such as Harry Reeves, Chuck Couch, Jack Hannah, Homer Brightman, and Nick George. Health problems forced him to leave the Burbank studio during World War II for the dry air of the California desert, where he made the transition to comic books.
