Item Description
The "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" comic strip was released to coincide w/the release of Disney's 1937 animated film. Written by Merril de Marris and drawn by Hank Porter (both staff at Disney), the strip ran on Sundays from Dec. 12, 1937 to April 24, 1938 and was distributed by King Features Syndicate. The sequence ran in "Disney's Silly Symphony" slot, as a Sunday topper for "Mickey Mouse." Offered here is 14x35.5" mat w/6x27.5" opening containing lead and red pencil preliminary original art w/hand-lettered dialog for c. 1938 Sunday strip, w/art attributed to Hank Porter. Strip features four panels w/well-defined preliminary art showing the Dwarfs scrambling to secure sleeping spots wherever they can after Doc announces Snow White can have the bed upstairs. Strip ends w/Snow White giving thanks for the Dwarfs' generosity and praying the Grumpy will like her. Snow White appears in first and last panels while Dwarfs appear in first three. Strip's artboard is evenly aged w/vertical fold at center, but o/w art remains clean and displays VF as matted.
