GARÉ
BARKS Contributions:
From 1953 to 1966 Garé lettered and inked (backgrounds
and solid blacks) for almost all the stories.
Occasionally, she also inked objects shown in
large quantities. Examples: 1955 U$09 The
Lemming with the Locket (lemmings) and
1955 WDCS182 'Grandma's Bull' (crockery).
1953 FC0456 Somethin' Fishy Here
(full inking).
1954 WDCS160 'The Christmas
Camel' (idea).
1974 WDCS405FC (inking).
Comments:
Garé was Barks' third wife. Late in 1952,
following a car accident, she was unable to
pursue her career as a painter and Barks
suggested that she could help him with his work
instead.
WDCS160: For the only time
during her comic book career Garé contributed a
gag: The nephews have bought a camel from a
bankruptcy sale for only 50 cents and continues:
'If we'd had two dollars, we could have bought an
elephant!'.
