Miss you Frank. | Bernie Wrightson, there's a name I haven't heard of in a while...! being an illustrator it made me sit back and think of all the things one can leave behind in an artistic legacy....it also reminded me of the long mountain I have still to climb before I could be somewhere near the same rarified air as Mr. Franzetta. You will be missed, Frank! |

The cover artwork was the only reason why I gave it a listening and decided to buy it since I liked what I heard. Still have that LP in perfect condition. R.I.P. Mr. Frazetta.  |

Wrightson, Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta, Joe Kubert were all influenced by Frazetta.
A sad day. Frank was great. RIP.

How is this not as important for Americana as Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans?
Barely a word in the media.

Barely a word in the media. | fixed. frazetta invented a genre of art, imo, not to mention pretty much helped shape what comics are. there's not a single comicbook artist who hasn't been directly influenced by him.

...although in truth there are plenty of women's bodies that would fulfill any Frazetta fan's expectations. I'm always amused by guys who see pics of female bodybuilders and say "Gack! She looks like a man! That's horrible!" Yeah right dude, and you didn't jerk off to Heavy Metal magazine either, sure. |
