Hi, i hope somebody could help us with this. Our father, Peter Härdfeldt, recently passed away. He worked for Egmont for a large part of his life, where he wrote and drew several stories in the Donald Duck comicbook, primarily in the 90´s. We are now going through his belongings and see that he have kept almost all of the original rough drafts he handed in, as well as the finished art, that was published. (Uncolored).
Are there any values to these this day? Or are there low demand in specifically disney comic book scripts? Should we keep them or throw them away?
He also published and created a "Drawers manual" for other Disney artists, that acted as a guideline to how characters should be drawn and theoretics behind the art. Is there any value to this?

there's always some value to original art, especially with a well known character. you'll get more replies and info on the CGC Original Art forum: https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/41-original-comic-art/ . post in the regular forum, not the Marketplace one.
free to join, and your first post will need to be approved by a moderator. read the guidelines rules, https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/540366-cgc-chat-boards-terms-of-use-and-rules-updated-1132025/ , and post some pics if you can. plenty of dealers and collectors there to give you an idea of value, but also may depend on whether any of your father's originals have been sold before, so there's some data based on HIS art. if Disney let him keep it all and he never sold any, then that will affect estimates. could make them worth more to Disney art fanatics. Have you done a google search on his name to see if there's any original art of his out there? And I see he has various social media pages that you'll need to update/remove if you can. Not sure on the Drawer's manual, but if that was an 'in-house only thing', then that should have some value too.
There's likely various other internet forums dedicated to Disney art too, plus many original art dealers who specialize in or carry Disney originals, so look for those. "Disney original art forum", "Disney original art dealers" and even narrow it using 'Donald Duck original art' to find other artists stuff and see what those are offered or sell for, like on e**y. the more info you get the better. good luck on them.
