Barney Bear book
Just read over at the IDW site that the Carl Barks Barney Bear book will be released at San Diego Comic con. That's next week! If you go to the con make sure to grab a copy. (Amazon.com still says January 10, 2012 as release date ...)
Will it be available with a Carl Barks cover as well, I wonder? I love Jeff Smith and consider him a genius of the sequential art form... but I really don't like his renditions of Barney Bear and Benny Burro. (Barney in particular looks terrible.) It just seems very unfitting to me not to give the book a Carl Barks cover.
Mesterius: As far as I know this cover is the only one. Barks never did a Barney Bear cover. The scandinavian book used an image taken from one of the stories on the cover.
Don't know if it was announced but amazon still lists 2012 as release date.
