Regarding Barks and Walt Disney.  Yes, Disney was reading Barks'  
stories, for a certain period of time.  This fact is documented in my  
book about Bakrs, and the way in which Disney preserved the integrity  
of disney comics and saved Barks' work from interference,   Please  
see--Carl Barks and the Disney Comic Book:Unmasking the Myth of  
Modernity.

Sincerely,

Thomas Andrae
