The Comic Book

The difference I see between Carl Barks, and Tin Tin; and Ec comics are the age differences. Carl Barks and Tin Tin are for the younger age groups; and Ec are for a mature audience. The way Donald Duck and Tin Tin are drawn in a whimsical fashion with bright colors and lots of fluidly drawn movement and action; and unrealistically drawn. Where as EC comic books are stagnant, detailed, pen and ink work; realistically drawn, and the text speaks for most of the action portraid. The format for the Ec books is more on the lines of a graphic novel with the story at the top of the page typed like a novel and  the drawing is on the bottom of the page. It pretty much is a traditional written novel with a illustration on each page. The comics are mostly told through speech/ speech bubbles. Also the context of the comics with Donald Duck and Tin Tin the problems in the comic are light hearted and slap stick. Where as the Carl Barks comics are murder mysteries. As you grew up during this time I think you would read Donald Duck comics first, then Tin Tin, and then Ec. Tin Tin is the sort of in between the two it has the light heartedness of Ec with the mystery of Carl Barks, but doesn't go as far as murder. As the number of pages differed from the Ec Comics being the shortest and Tin Tin and Ec being the longest comics. I think Carl Barks had a shorter number of pages because the audience which is children would have shorter attention spans which ment less time reading.
