 This is a sad day for fantasy art and comic book fans. Frank Frazetta died today of a stroke. After having dinner with his family he wasn't feeling well and was taken to a hospital where he later died ( as reported by Dave Itzkoff at NY Times.) Frank Frazetta was a legend in his own time. He made a name for himself with his bold painting style and pop culture themes of Conan the Barbarian. Frazetta has done movie posters, comic books, cd covers, and many others. His paintings are recognized by their scantily clad, buxom women, and heavily muscled men.  Undoubtedly a favorite with many fans and artists, his contribution to fantasy art and illustration will be treasured for years to come.

Leave a Reply | AuthorHi, my name is Amy. I've been reading fantasy fiction since I was a child. I fell in love with fairytales, myths, legends, stories in fantastic realms, and urban tales of werewolves, vampires and other creatures. ArchivesMay 2010 CategoriesAll |
