the memory of properly colored Barks comics in the 'Donald Duck' weekly magazine and the Dutch 'Beste Verhalen' (BV) series.
So no, I have no major issues with the coloring in these Fantagraphics Barks books. In fact my only two major issues with the series are:
1. The use of Rosa's version of "The Pied Piper of Duckburg" instead of the Jippes one, and not because I like the Jippes one more. My issue is that most of the people who buy these Barks books have also bought the Rosa Library, so they already have Rosa's version of this story.
2. The biggest one: Mixing those Junior Woodchucks stories with Barks stories from the 60s, instead of presenting them in the final volumes of the Barks Library. Makes no sense at all. I wonder if Ramapith will ever address this in this forum.
it shows that there is no successor to Barks. Not Jippes, not Rosa, nobody.
If you mean that nobody can imitate Barks to a tee, then sure, I agree. But I consider Van Horn, Don Rosa, Daan Jippes, Marco Rota and maybe a few others all successors to Barks in their own way.
