FRAZETTA IS GOD!!!!! The man is the modern day equivalent of Da Vinci. You WILL NOT be disappointed by this book. My only wish is that I was wealthy enough to purchase his original artwork!!!

I've admired Frank Frazetta's work since I first saw some cover art he did for Ballantine Books in the late `60's or early `70's. As if his gifts of crisp draftsmanship, imaginative composition and striking color aren't enough, he knows how to "sell" a concept. In that sense, he's kin to Fredric Remington and N.C. Wyeth, Nowadays, many of his images are iconic and anyone who ventures into the world of fantasy illustration is forced to measure his or her work against Frazetta's. The copious and often breathtaking examples artwork notwithstanding, what I liked equally was the background story - especially the role that Ellie, his wife, played as his muse, manager and rudder.

We have been Frank Frazetta marks for a long, long time. So of course we have not only all of his earmark books that have his cover art on them, such as Conan and Tarzan, but also the more recent art books such as this compiled works of such a legendary giant icon of sci-fi/fantasy artists.

Only Boris and Julie Bell can rival this awesome artist that can create art that woes you and can crreate an enture storyline to the eyes of people like us. This is a must for people who love art.
