by: James Bond (Author), David Winiewicz (Author)

Softcover. Vanguard, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Softcover, 208 pages. Fantastic reference for artists; great entertainment for fans. The work of Frank Frazetta--THE greatest heroic-fantasy artist of all time--has influenced generations of artists, fans, designers, and movie directors. Now more than 400 of his unforgettable images have been collected in Frazetta, The Definitive Reference. With essays by experts and collectors, this one-of-a-kind volume traces the entire arc of Frazettas career. From his early 1950s comics; to his breathtaking book covers featuring Tarzan, Pellucidar, King Kong, and John Carter of Mars; to his 1960s monster mags, including Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella; to his major movie posters, including After the Fox, The Night They Raided Minsky's and Whats New Pussycat?; and, of course, his revolutionary Conan paintings--its all here. Frazetta - The Definitive Reference overflows with fantastic images, an index of every published Frazetta work and insightful commentary on this fantasy-art icon. Compiled by James A. Bond (no relation to the international spy). Edited by J. David Spurlock and Andrew Steven with a foreword by Frazetta close personal friend Dr. David Winiewicz.
