He believed in the possibility of a symbiotic relationship between scientific method and poetical sensibility since they had the same hermeneutic and heuristic goals.

The influence of Bark’s work on such filmmakers as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and on such artists as Gottfried Helnwein has extended Barks’s significance far beyond the boundaries of comics.

He is the only comic book artist ever to receive a Disney Legends award. He created work of such exceptional quality that he was accorded the greatest autonomy of any Disney artist. Although the images he created are known virtually everywhere, Barks was an isolated storyteller, living in the desert of California and preferring to labor without public fanfare during most of his career. His work is ranked among the most widely circulated, best-loved, and most influential of all comic book art. Barks also produced more than 500 comic book stories. Disney artist Carl Barks (1901–2000) created one of Walt Disney’s most famous characters, Scrooge McDuck.
