Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta
by: Frazetta, Frank; Mason, Edward [Editor] 

Hardcover. Underwood Books, 1st, 2008, Hardcover in a pictorial slipcase. Fantasy art's most popular painter was also one of the most popular comic book illustrators during the industry's golden age. Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta celebrates the rare and largely forgotten stories created five decades ago by this iconic artist. These jungle adventures, true-life tales of heroism, and dreamy love stories not only exhibit the skill of a master craftsman but also provide tantalizing glimpses of where the young artist's career would ultimately take him. This collection includes his complete Thunda tales and best romance works like "Untamed Love," "Empty Heart," "A Love of My Own," "The Wrong Road," and "Too Late for Love." These romance stories, often overlooked, feature some of Frazetta's finest works with shapely women, nude statues, and implied sensuality. Also featured are his heroic works such as Heroic Comics, White Indian, and the long-running series ME, alongside Squeeze Play, his one and only solo-drawn story for EC. Additionally, there are rare SF stories such as Captain Comet and Judy of the Jungle, along with his best and most obscure late 1940s works. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.
