Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta by J David Spurlock

There's literally nothing I can say about Frank Frazetta's art that hasn't been said before, and said better. But I can say, his art took me places I didn't even know existed.

A gorgeous book.

Frank Frazetta: The Living Legend by Frank Frazetta

The biographical text is a little outdated at this point, but it still serves as a decent introduction to the man and his work. Many B&W reproductions, family photos, and some comic strips.

Icon: A Retrospective By The Grand Master of… by Frank Frazetta

A superb introduction to the art and life of Frank Frazetta, one of the foremost fantasy artists of the last half century. This book reproduces full colour examples of his works, from magazine and book covers to film posters and comic strips. The man is a legend and influenced a raft of artists who came after him.

The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta by Frank Frazetta

Frazetta did a lot of the cover art for fantasy & SF books. His covers for the Lancer editions of the Conan books were what got me interested in him. Later, I recognized his style & bought a book just for the cover art - my first Kane book, by Karl Wagner. He's done a wide range including a lot of the Barsoom series for the Martian books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Also some Tarzan. He also illustrated for Playboy or Penthouse - I think he did the 'Little Annie Fanny' cartoons for a while.

I'm not a real art critic. His paintings seem extraordinary to me. In closeups of some subjects in the book, you can see where a single stroke of his brush creates muscle line. It's really fantastic. The washed out horrors in the backgrounds of some just become more & more eerie as you study them. His women are voluptuous, generous curves & scanty clothing. His humor is fantastic too.… (more)
