Carl Barks absolutely invented, defined, and developed the character of Scrooge / Dagobert. For decades the _good_ Dagobert stories appearing in "Micky Maus" and the other periodicals on the German market were exclusively from his pen. Later, Don Rosa stepped into his footsteps and at some point in the 1980s or 1990s this second _good_ artist started to appear. He just wasn't ever as productive as Barks, who has left us 6000+ pages of awesome duck stories. Of course Bark's work seeded a secondary tradition of Italian artists with stories set in some alternative universe Duckburg. They are popular in Germany as well, but generally of lesser importance and historical value. These matters are very important to some serious people, https://www.donald.org/ https://www.donald.org/ ;-)
