Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following items:
One of the greatest pieces of artwork by Hal Foster in his career, the original artwork for the 120th ”Prince Valiant” Sunday comic strip from 28 May 1939. In this instantly recognizable piece — featured on the cover of Fantagraphics’ ”Prince Valiant Vol. 2: 1939-1940” and in numerous ”Prince Valiant” publications — Val sees the foreboding castle of Andelkrag in person, surrounded by Huns as they prepare to attack it. The six panel strip measures 26” x 34.5”, (the large Andelkrag panel measures 17” x 21” by itself), with incredible detail showing the seemingly impregnable fortress, the mountains behind it, the flames roiling up aside it and Prince Valiant standing upon a hillside, gazing at its beauty and enormity. In this strip, Val makes his approach and plunges into the river moat at darkness, to find a fire-raft built by the Huns in order to destroy Andelkrag’s bridge. As Prince Valiant destroys their handiwork, the Huns vow revenge in return. Artwork is signed by Foster on the second panel, inscribed to ”Edward W. Larson / with friendly greetings / Hal Foster”. With King Features Syndicate, Inc. label on fifth panel, with 1939 copyright. The date of 28 May 1939 appears on the fourth panel, along with ”120”, the number of this Prince Valiant strip in the life of the series. Artwork is mounted to board and matted to a size of 33” x 41.5”, with matting strips separating the panels. With minute amount of soiling, artwork is in near fine condition. Accompanied by the color newsprint of this artwork and two ”Prince Valiant” books featuring this strip. Sold for $70,461.
Special ”Peanuts” original comic strip, hand-drawn by Charles Schulz for publication on 16 December 1957. Strip is one of the rare examples of Schulz meticulously recreating a musical score by Beethoven, in this case Piano Sonata No. 1. Schroeder whistles the Sonata to call in Snoopy for dinner, who trots in on four legs rather than two, a hallmark of the early ”Peanuts” strips. With United Feature Syndicate label on first panel, strip measures 29” x 7”. Mild toning, overall very good to near fine condition. Sold for $58,954.
Original Sunday ”Peanuts” comic strip, hand-drawn by Charles Schulz. In this ”April showers” themed strip, published 26 April 1970, Snoopy, Woodstock and Peppermint Patty get caught in a downpour, but then little Woodstock is further harassed by a flowing rain gutter. Strip measures 24” x 17”, inscribed by Schulz to Jim Pearson. Near fine condition. Sold for $56,250.

With Courvoisier Galleries sticker affixed to backing certifying that both the background and cel were used in the filming of “Pinocchio”.

Disney Mickey Mouse Cel From the 1939 Short Film “Society Dog Show” — Depicting Two of Disney’s Most Iconic Characters, Mickey Mouse and Pluto — Featuring Mickey in His Older Character Design
Original animation Mickey Mouse cel from Walt Disney’s classic 1939 cartoon short, “Society Dog Show”, which featured the trials and tribulations of Mickey Mouse and Pluto at a fancy dog show.

Cel depicts Mickey walking Pluto into the show proudly, and though Pluto’s raucous behavior gets him booted, he saves a dog from a fire and becomes the show’s hero. With a Courvoisier Gallery label on verso, cel is done in gouache on trimmed celluloid, applied to a Courvoisier airbrushed background. Embossed with “1939 Walt Disney Prod”. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.75″ x 17″, with viewable area of 8.5″ x 7″. Near fine condition. Sold for $7,422.
