Duck man Carl Barks toiled in anonymity for years before fans John and Bill Spicer tracked him down him in 1960. That's when an incredulous Barks learned that he had a legion of adoring fans who knew him only as "The Good Duck Artist." From this awareness grew a second career, as Barks began producing oil paintings of the Disney ducks to satisfy the eager demands of his admirers.

"Carl Barks maintained total anonymity during the twenty-three years that he drew virtually all of the duck Comics and Stories, one-shot Donald Ducks, and all of the Uncle Scrooge books — a record more enviable for a CIA man than an artist." — E.B. Boatner, "Carl Barks — From Burbank to Calisota." The Comic Book Price Guide No. 7. Overstreet: 1977, p. A-37.
