Selling a unique set of art!
1) The original Carl Barks prelim pencil for page 7 of the Gold Key Junior Woodchucks story Hark Hark The Ark. Donald Duck story code HDL23. A cleare reference to Noa’s Ark.
2) The semilar, inked page that Dutch artist Daan Jippes did after Barks’ preliminary years later in 2008 for a luxury edition of Carl Barks’ complete works. Signed by Jippes.

Daan Jippes is the master of recreating Carl Barks´ style Disney Ducks, and he has re-inked all the Junior Woodchuck stories from the early 1970s which Barks then made, both the scripts and layouts. If you compare Barks’ layouts into the inked stories that the other studio artists at Western Publishing (Strobl, Kay, etc) made, you will notice many mistakes and “short paths” those studio artists did. Only Jippes made his inked artwork as close as possible to what Barks drew into his layouts, and besides Jippes is the only who made Ducks looking as close as possible with Barks’ style!
This is how Daan described his work to ink those Barks’ Junior Woodchuck stories:
“…I feel obliged to point out the agenda I and my Dutch and Scandinavian publishers tried to follow in this endeavour to redo all of these Barks-pencilled stories: to stay as close to what Barks MIGHT have had in mind…when visualizing –via his scribbles- his stories.However presumptuous that may sound.
Yeah, I could`ve executed them MY way. But SO did Kay Wright, Bob Gregory, Tony Strobl and all these guys commissioned by Western Publishing in the 1970`s. So what would`ve been the point?
I`m known for being a style-chameleon, and not ashamed of it. The extra pressure to stay within the graphic realm of a given style, in this case Barks`, I particularly treasure. It`s only when I work “just” to put a visual idea across, like when I`m storyboarding, that my drawing descends into my “own”style ( the notion that not many eyes will scrutinize it helps, I guess).”
This is an absolutely unique set. I doubt that many such pairs exist.
