I'm in the US right now, on a shopping spree, and I want to buy me a load of Barks/Rosa comics. My family and I are visiting Tucson, Arizona, and we are visiting every mall on town. Thing is, I'm unfamiliar with
a)The places that sell these gems.
b)Are there any compilatious out there that I should look for?
Any help will be REALLY appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I can't help you out there, but if you don't mind going online, if you buy $25 worth of these puppies on Amazon (not including the Marketplace), you get free shipping.

If you're new to Barks material, or just don't own much of it, the "Carl Barks' Greatest Duck Tales Stories" books are good places to start.
http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Presents-Greatest-Ducktales-Stories/dp/1888472367/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259096742&sr=1-1

Also the Disney Treasures books are recommended,

and Boom's new Christmas Classics book looks very nice.

I also highly recommend Don Rosa's Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck.

CartoonCrazy, rodney, John Cooke, my sincere and heart-felt thanks to you guys. I was unable to find Barks/Rosa comics here in Arizona, though, so I'll have to order from the Internet once I get back to Mexico. As long as I eventually have them...
Some seem to be out of stock, though. I also wonder if there is a sort of complete chronological release for the Good Duck artists' works. In those Amazon links, I was able to find one of the sorts for Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, but no signals of a Carl Barks one. I'd pay big to have them, that's for sure.

Yeah, ya'd think they'd have a big Barks book (alliteration) by now. :/

Indeed...Something like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Collected_Works_of_Carl_Barks), truly complete, would gain a space on my book shelf in no time.
