Walt Disney Studios - Pegleg Pete Animation Drawing Original Art (Walt Disney, 1927).
<B>Walt Disney Studios - Pegleg Pete Animation Drawing Original Art (Walt Disney, 1927).</B></I> Pegleg Pete was the first Disney villain; this 1927 model sheet is from Disney's first Mickey Mouse film "Steamboat Willy," which was released in 1928. Pegleg Pete is the unethical villain in this film. This was before the time of individual Disney personalities, and the image presented simply showed a villain big and tough. At that time Pegleg Pete was known only as Captain. He went on to haunt Mickey and Donald for decades. He would be known as Captain, Pegleg Pete, Black Pete and the politically correct Pete. He starred in the first Donald Duck comic book by Carl Barks and Jack Hannah titled <B>Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold (Four Color #9)</B></I> from 1942. These 3 drawings of the first Pegleg Pete are on full size animation paper measuring approximately 12" by 8.5". Pegleg Pete on the left of the model sheet measures 7.25" high; the Pete on the right measures 6.5" high. The bust of Pete in the middle measures 3" high. The art is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
