R. I. P. Frank Frazetta


Fantasy & Sci-fi artist Frank Frazetta died today of a stroke at the age of 82. Like most fantasy artists you'd recognize his work from the cover of various books and comic strips-- most notable are probably his renderings of Conan the Barbarian. But Frank was also known for his album covers and movie posters, including posters for "The Gauntlet" (starring Clint Eastwood) and "What's New Pussycat" (Starring Peter Sellers). Whether you knew Frank's name or not, chances are you know his work, and there are several collections available on Amazon as well. Rest in peace Frank-- at least we'll always have Molly Hatchet.

(Thanks Stewart for the heads-up)
