My website has taken it`s starting point from Matti Eronen`s great studies and is mostly following up by displaying the surviving original comic book pages and continuing to update if new art shows up reguarly.
On the photos you can see Matti Eronen ( left ) and me - and the fysical book of the Carl Barks studies.

A very deep and special thanks goes to Matti Eronen from Finland whose printed book : "Carl Barks' Surviving Comic Book Art" from 1994 has been the inspiration behind this website. Without Matti`s kind accept, assistance and knowledge this project has not been possible. Again, thank you, Matti for allowing me to use a large part of your printed material.
Special thanks goes to Peter Barks Kylling for use of passages and descriptions from his fabulous website: www.cbarks.dk

Pedersen, Joakim Gunnarsson, Øystein Sørensen, Are Myklebust, Goran Broling, William Brignone, Monty Bali, Patrick Block, Andrea Cara, Per Vedin, Manfred Ahl and Carsten Laqua for their contributions and great inspiration for the making of this website.

About me
My name is Søren Marsner from Denmark and I have been collecting, Comics and Comic art for 50 years. Started up by collecting comics in 1973 and in 1993 I began to study and collect original unique comic book art by Carl Barks and other artists.
The original comic book pages and covers made by the legendary Carl Barks - also known as "The Good Artist" - has my highest attention.
To this day, I still try to find new "lost" artwork to be presented on this website.
If you know anything about surviving artwork By Carl Barks please let me know. If you own original pages, please send me an email. I would be honored to display a photo of them on this website, as it is not 100 % known what has survived to this day.
