I rescued a collection a while back that was being tossed and among the collection were these 4 original paintings of female characters, some with their original names (Black Widow, Lockhead Lightning) written in cursive at the bottom and Freddy Hellmich signature painted on each one. I've done quite a bit of research on him. Freddy was a prominent animator and artist for Disney and Hanna Barbara and worked on such masterpieces as Disney's Jungle Book, Sword in the Stone, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and cult classic, Heavy Metal, among dozens of others. He died in South Korea as an animation supervisor and liaison at Disney Korea. There is a California address on the back of one of them that AI linked to a studio for the era he worked at. I also live about a 1/4 mile outside of Camden, NJ, where Freddy is from, so I'm thinking it was part of private collection or personal project of his. Unfortunately, they were damaged when I found them in a dumpster outside of a nursing home community. The thick cardboard they are painted on is creased from being folded in half. They were with many other high-value collectibles and documents so it's possible they belonged to hardcore collector before they passed away.
