R.I.P. Frank Frazetta

Fantasy artist Frank Frazetta passed away today. Frazetta popularized the sort of muscly, loincloth-and-metal bra, broadsword-wielding fantasy art that influenced artists like Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. His work spanned comic strips, comic books, book covers, album covers, and poster art.




Frazetta was 82. After the death of his wife last year, family members began feuding over ownership of Frazetta's paintings. The issue might be resolved for the moment; hopefully it won't flare up again.
