One of the least likely creatures one may encounter in a Disney comic book is a monster. For obvious reasons. Monsters are usually defined as scary and unlikable characters and as such they will have no immediate appeal to children. But of course this did not prevent Barks from portraying a variety of them in his unique manner. Barks was used to treading new ground in his comics, and he managed to incorporate numerous monsters in his stories. Of the more benign kind.
It is interesting to see that Carl Barks' monsters always have a disarming look although they most often act threatening. This was partly done by simply making them big. Nevertheless, Barks' special talent for storytelling makes his monsters a natural part of the stories. This is a collection of different types of Barks' many monsters.
