The famed artist died yesterday.
Known nearly as well as old Boris or Elmore, he produced Brak’s favorite picture:
May you hold your own in the halls of Valhalla, Frank!
Make sure you get Odin to do a sitting between drinking games and feats of strength.

That pic is of one of his old pulp characters, Death Dealer, if I’m not mistaken. I have a graphic novel of DD, written by Glenn Danzig and painted by Frazetta from the late 90’s. Epic fantasy, and fantastically gory.
RIP, Mr. Frazetta.
It inspired a series of books as well as the graphic novels you have ( and at least one other set of graphic novels ).
The books were by James Silke. Gath of Baal was the name they gave him. Classic, gory barbarian fun that I still re-read from time to time.
The documentary ” Painting with fire ” was about him as well ( As Monty well knows if I recall correctly ). Interesting cat he was.
T is right, that pretty much is my fav piece of Art. He was an original and hugely talented at conveying pure Badass.
