The first BarksBase version was released in 1994; I evaluated the complete comic work by Carl Barks for this. However, this project would not have been possible without the preliminary work of numerous other authors; apart from primary literature, it was based mainly on the following sources (HD = Hamburger Donaldist, DD = Der Donaldist):

M. Barrier, »Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book«, New York 1981

F. Beers, H. Schwede, M. Das, U. de Planque, »Deutscher Carl Barks Index«, Sonderheft 24 des DD, Hamburg 1992

D. Giesler, »Carl Barks Index 94« (diskette version), Ahrensburg 1993

U. Merkl, »Barks Scripts«, Sonderheft 21 des DD, Hamburg 1987

S. Schmidt, »Hommage an Floyd Gottfredson«, Sonderheft 27 des DD, Merzig 1993

K. Spillmann, »Der Carl Barks Index«, Sonderheft 15 des HD, Großhansdorf 1985

I. Stöhr, »Fuchs/Barks Namenslexikon«, Hüttenberg 1994

For later comparisons, corrections, and amendments, I browsed through numerous sources in different media; it may suffice here to name the most important works available in book form:

M. Eronen, »Carl Barks' Surviving Comic Book Art«, Helsinki 1994

J. A. Grote, »Carl Barks. Werkverzeichnis der Comics«, Stuttgart 1995

J. A. Grote, »Who's who in Entenhausen«, Stuttgart 1997

D. Smith, »Disney A to Z«, New York 1996

Here are several interesting internet addresses from which I could also draw some valuable information:
