Frank Frazetta RIP

[DaveMage]

Awesome artist....

 

[Mark]

Those paperback covers in the Sixties and Seventies were an early inspiration for my gaming. Sad he has passed on.

Personally, I'll never forget his Vampirella covers...

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. RIP Mr. Frazetta

Frank wasn't just a fantasy illustrator I liked... he was THE fantasy illustrator I liked.

May he spend eternity surrounded by the women he painted

...

(including his wife, who was his model for many iconic works)

God bless ya, Frank. He and Ellie're back together again.

Man was a hardcore character. Learned to paint with his offhand after a stroke, IIRC.

A sad passing of the man whose art very nearly defines Sword & Sorcery.

RIP, Mr. Frazetta.

Hated hearing this news.. his work always inspired me.

I grew up surrounded by his art on books and posters. My Dad is a huge fan, as am I. I'm gonna give Dad a call.

A true giant has passed. Few, if any, artists so defined a genre as Frazetta defined swords & sorcery.
