14 - the Old Castle's Secret Barks Remarks - a Carl Barks Podcast

    • Visual Arts

Grab your X-Ray machine and peer in the walls of Barks Remarks' World Headquarters as we talk about Barks' all-time classic (and arguably the true origin story for Scrooge McDuck), the Old Castle's Secret! This unusually spooooky story is everything we love about Carl Barks: spine-tingling adventure, a lavishly-illustrated, remote setting, and just enough comedy to keep things from getting too creepy! There is a lot to cover in this one, as we talk about the inspirations behind Castle McDuck and Rannoch Moor, unusual historical uses for X-Ray machines, debate the definition of the word "battlement," and much more!
