Week 4: Comic Books

Uncle Scrooge, The Secret of Atlantis

Discussing Carl Barks in class made me interested in checking out more of his work. I read his Uncle Scrooge story, The Secret of Atlantis. It was really silly and fun! I liked the take on the people of atlantis adapting to their new home and becoming weird not quite mermaid aliens. I think it's easy to forget that comic books aren't just superheroes and the latest stressful plot about how they're going to save the world from whatever type of evil is popular that week, and this is a cute reminder that things other then that exist.
It was definitely a fun short story with a lot of personality, as is most of Carl Bark's work with the disney ducks.
