'''''The Carl Barks Library''''' ('''''CBL''''') is a series of 30 large hardcover books reprinting all of the [[Disney comics]] stories and covers written and/or drawn by [[Carl Barks]]. Stories that were modified in the original publication, sometimes for production reasons and sometimes due to excessive editing, were restored in CBL to Barks' original intent.<ref name=seriesam>{{cite web | url = http://www.seriesam.com/barks/deta_text_s_cblh.html | title = A Guide to the Carl Barks Universe}}</ref> The books are collected in ten slipcase volumes with three books in each, a total of about 7,400 pages.
