Ah nice. I guess the late 40's stuff is the Donald Duck stuff. I'll probably read another issue tonight. #6 is "Tralla La". Believe I had some recommendations for this one.
Yeah, I posted this link earlier, it has the publication months for all his stories. All the stories you've mentioned reading are from this period, the oldest being Christmas on Bear Mountain from December 1947. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_comics_by_Carl_Barks
Tralla La is one of Barks' best stories, yeah. Great stuff.

Speaking of Christmas On Bear Mountain. There was another Christmas story after this one where Goofy is tasked with looking after the reindeers. I stopped reading because a load of panels were covered with black bars. It was where the giant had a reindeer in his grasp. I'm guessing something was being censored. No idea what. Is anyone familiar with this strip, and can tell me what the reason for these black bars was?

It's not censorship, but the scan most commonly found online is made from a copy of the book someone took scissors to. The "black bars" are just holes in the pages.

Most of the great stuff your really should read have already been recommended. Although, I would really recommend getting a physical copy of the Fantagraphics Uncle Scrooge Only a poor old man volume. It is the most accessible way to collect Barks first 6 and arguably greatest Scrooge stories. Wich are probably my personal favorites.
After that, I would recomend getting volume 14 and 16 with the following Scrooge stories. As well as volume 8,9,10, 11, 13 and 15 with Barks best Donald Duck stories. these volumes contain Barks stories from the early 50s while he was at his best.

Thanks for the recommendation. Much appreciated. I've almost read the first 6 stories and have the Only A Poor Man issue of Carl Barks' Library In Color. So will probably hold off the Fantagraphics volume for now. I'll have a look at these other Fantagraphics volumes, however. I've taken a minor break from the ducks, but will get back to it soon. Read a few more Barks' tales and then tackle Don Rosa's Lo$.
I would suggest “Mickey Mouse: His Greatest Adventures”. Everyone else here has all the Duck stories covered. Also the Silly Symphonies Sunday strips and the two color Sunday volumes of the Gottfredson library offer a good snapshot of early Disney.
