I wish I could find and afford the Gladstone/Another Rainbow Barks Library in color. The coloring in the Fantagraphics Library is intentionally the same as the original American Dell comics. Even Barks himself said that wasn't the best way to color his comics. Example: some fish in the sea are red (?!) and birds in the sky are green. There are almost only primary colors, no shading, etc. I ain't no youngster but too young to have bought the Gladstone stuff in the eighties. I was a teenager and it was simply too expensive. The Color versions of the Gladstone series appeared sparsely here in Holland (Europe) and they had a paper cover (no carton). This is the first and probably only time for me to collect Barks in color chronologically. There was "De Beste Verhalen" here in Holland but they were not in chronological order and getting the complete set might be difficult nowadays.
