The great Carl Barks, the artist and writer responsible for giving us Scrooge McDuck and many of the other inhabitants of the sleepy town of Duckburg, was asked in the 1950's to create a comic book version of Disney's animated short film, Trick or Treat. Unable to stretch the plot of the cartoon to fill a comic book, he added a few classic Halloween characters to expand the story. The result, also entitled Trick or Treat, was later immortalized by Carl Barks in this beautiful lithograph: Halloween in Duckburg.
I wonder if it's too early to start my Christmas wish list.
