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, yes, 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 was also born in the early 1900s, made a career out of drawing comic books, and eventually retired to live in Oregon, where both men eventually died. I think both men shared a love of the female form, of detailed and exotic locations, and of living lives full of adventure... at least in their comic stories. Schomburg's covers in this era are truly amazing.”
