Carl Barks and Norman McGary Donald Duck Book Art
<B>Carl Barks and Norman McGary - "Donald Duck and the Christmas Carol" Little Golden Book D-84 Complete Story Original Art (Golden Press, 1960).</B></I> A complete 24-page children's book, featuring art by Carl Barks (layout and pencils, though it is difficult if not impossible to tell whether the original pencils or a photocopy lies beneath the paint) and Norman McGary (gouache on illustration boards), is featured in this rare and monumental lot. The story is an adaptation of Dickens' famous tale <B>A Christmas Carol</B></I>, starring Uncle Scrooge as Ebenezer, co-starring Donald and his nephews. While Scrooge takes center stage in the story, Donald still gets the spotlight on the cover (which is not by Barks), playing Santa to Huey, Louie, and Dewey. The beautiful story art is presented as double page layouts measuring 15" x 10", with one or two color illustrations plus text pasted onto each board, with 13 boards total. The art is in Excellent condition. Included are copies of the printed book; one original printing, plus two foreign editions -- one from Mexico, the other from Sweden. <I>From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Other (TBD) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
