Grandma Duck comic model sheet.

Photostat model sheet of the Disney Duck character, Grandma Duck, 1950. 340x383 mm; 13⅛x15⅛ inches. The Walt Disney copyright is hand written in ink, likely because there were so few of these made that they considered it not worth the expense of redoing the photostat to add it.

The model sheet was issued by Disney to Bill Weaver as reference for the creation of Whitman / Gold Key comics. Bill Weaver is known to have worked on only one Grandma Duck comic story published in the summer 1951, so this model sheet may well have used for that assignment.

Additional Details

A scan of this exact model sheet will be featured in the Egmont comic publication "Kalle Anka Klassiker" ("Donald Duck Classics") #3, to be released in summer of 2025.
