This series of paintings combines the science-fiction and adventure worlds of Alex Schomburg, with the anthropomorphic sensibilities of Carl Barks. In the first three in the series, Garvin creates ducksian parodies of three classic Schomburg covers from Exciting and Startling comics.

“Obviously, I love the ‘good-girl’ drawings and paintings by Carl Barks—not just his anthropomorphic duck girls, but also the GGA cartoons he did throughout the 1930s. What's not obvious is how much I love the work of Alex Schomburg, who had much in common with Barks. Schomburg, like Barks, was born in the early 1900s, made a career out of drawing comic books, and eventually retired to Oregon, where both men spent their final years. I think both men shared a love of the female form, of detailed and exotic locations, and of lives filled with adventure... at least in their comic stories. Schomburg's covers from this era are truly amazing.”
