Death Dealer by Frank Frazetta and Glenn Danzig
Requirements: CBR Reader, 24 MB.
Overview: Death Dealer is an iconic 1973 fantasy painting by Frank Frazetta. It depicts a menacing armor-clad warrior with a horned helmet, whose facial features are obscured by shadow, atop a horse, holding a bloody axe and shield. The image eventually led to spin-offs of varying merchandise, including subsequent paintings of the warrior, novels, statues, and most recently, a comic book, published by Image Comics, and related D&D adventures, published by Goodman Games.

    Published by Verotik, 1995-1997.

      The first Death Dealer comic book series was published in 1995 by the company Verotik. The 4-issue series was written by musician Glenn Danzig and illustrated by Simon Bisley (issue 1), Liam Sharp (issues 2 and 3), and by Arthur Suydam (issue 4). Frazetta provided covers for the books as well.

      In 2007, Image Comics/Frazetta Comics published the highly acclaimed "Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan" 6 issue miniseries featuring Death Dealer in the first story fully approved by Frank Frazetta. The book's creators are Nat Jones, Jay Fotos, and Joshua Ortega. The story was written by Jones, Fotos and Ortega, with pencils and inks by Jones, and colors by Fotos. The story tells of an ancient land, and two warring nations fighting in an epic war. The Death Dealer appears on the field of battle and slaughters both sides. When the two kingdoms forged an alliance, the Dealer disappears for years but returns years later. Image's Death Dealer comic inspired a series of Dungeons & Dragons adventures published by Goodman Games.

      The image of the Death Dealer also appears on the gas tank of a Jesse James motorcycle.

      Frank Frazetta (February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010) was an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for work in comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media. He was the subject of a 2003 documentary.

      Frazetta was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999.

      Frazetta has influenced many artists within the genres of fantasy and science fiction. Yusuke Nakano, a lead artist for Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series, cites Frazetta as an influence. The creator of He-Man, Roger Sweet, states that he was influenced by Frazetta's work. Fantasy artist and musician Joseph Vargo cites Frazetta as a primary influence, and his art calendars since 1998 mark Frazetta's birthday. Chris Perna, art director at Epic Games, stated in an interview in 2011 that Frazetta was one of his influences.

      Frazetta died of a stroke on May 10, 2010, in a hospital near his residence in Florida

      Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated Review by Julio Diaz for Ink 19.
        Fans of fantasy will instantly recognize the name Frank Frazetta as the grand master of fantasy art. You'd expect nothing but quality from a magazine that bears his name, and Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated does an excellent job of living up to that high standard. Similar in format to Heavy Metal , FFFI is by far more interesting than HM has been in years.

        Each issue features one of the master's gorgeous paintings as a frontispiece (the legendary DeathDealer looms off the cover of #4, while The Snow Giants attempt to separate Conan from his head on issue #5). Inside, you'll find scholarly discussion of said cover, and (as the magazine's cover trumpets) "Illustrated Fantasy & Sci-Fi from the world's greatest artists & writers."

        Issue #4 features an in-depth essay on Frazetta's pen and ink work by Frazetta expert Dr. David Winiewicz (featuring full-page reproductions of several of the works), the gorgeous high-tech art of Steve Stone's "Strange Cargo," "Rogue's Curse," an ElfQuest feature written and illustrated by co-creator Wendy Pini, and "What Price the Unicorn?," an amusing fairy tale written by Kevin Tucker and lavishly illustrated by Phillip Xavier. Issue #5's highlights include the nightmarish sci-fi epic "Ulysses Squared" from writer Brian Haberlin and former X-Men artist Whilce Portatio, exciting space opera from the Hildebrandt Brothers (the stunningly beautiful "The Emerald Seven") and writer Elio Leone and artist Tom Grindberg (the grittier "Spacejackers: The Continued Saga"), and Rob Prior's spooky, atmospheric "The Stitchery Man."

        Each issue also features illustrated excerpts from upcoming novels by well-known fantasy authors (in #4, it's Anne McCaffrey's Nimisha's Ship , while #5 features R.A. Salvatore's The Demon Apostle ) and installments of two ongoing series, Leone and painter Dan Orizio's "invasion from the center of the Earth" saga "Infernus Terra," and artist Daren Bader and writer Lance Hutto's anthropomorphic "Pridelands."

        All in all, Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated is a beautiful magazine that easily lives up to its mission statement. The master should be proud to be associated with this fine body of work.

      FRANK FRAZETTA'S NEANDERTHAL is the latest painting to be brought to vivid life in the true classic style of Frazetta Comics. CHRIS RYALL, TIM VIGIL and JAY FOTOS team up to present a tale of Paleolithic life fraught with danger at every turn. Beyond the usual threats from warring tribe and Sabertooth tigers, a tribe of Neanderthals runs up against a threat they couldn't possibly imagine... and can't possibly survive.

      One Moment In Time Reviewed by Captain Bintang on Aug. 26, 2010.
        Neanderthal - another comic book adaptation based on one of the late, great Frank Frazetta paintings. This time it`s a painting originally used for a 1967 issue of Creepy.

        I`m enjoying this series immensely and the subject for this issue is...cavemen. Well, Homo Erectus actually - the neanderthals of the title. It illustrates a small scenario with a group of neanderthals, a small scenario that is infact, an immense historical point - when neanderthal meet their predecessor, Cro Magnon Man...
        (I was immediatly put in mind of Mystique`s first ever words to Senetor Kelly- that`s something for you to look up True Believers!)
        The artist this time is the excellent, Tim Vigil. He does a good job here, although his neanderthals look like odd, lumpy creatures. The first few pages are classic - the hunter waiting in the grass. You can almost feel that beating sun and the fly crawling across his brow...although, tackling a sabre-toothed tiger single-handed??
        There is no dialogue throughout the issue, aside from the occasional gruntings between the neanderthals, but I like that. It seems to suit the characters, and articulate speech would seem misplaced...
        Neanderthal is not the best of these wonderful Frazetta one-shots, but it`s still a worthy contender for a place in any collection.

      "The Eternal Battle Of Supreme Monsters..." Reviewed by Captain Bintang on Aug. 25, 2010.
        Last week I rediscovered the world of Frank Frazetta. A favourite artist of mine, I found he produced a series of one-shot publications for Image between 2007 and 2010 (alas, he died earlier this year). Okay, it`s not all his work, he`s painted up a few beautiful covers, but the interior work is of another artist - or, at least with the two I`ve read...
        Dracula Meets The Wolf-Man. Ah, I just love all this stuff - vampires, werewolves, just can`t get enough of them...well, no, that`s not quite true, some of the recent vampire stuff is pretty lame. But not this. This is more...hmm, `old school`...
        It`s a short tale, but again I think Frazetta is more inclined towards the visual impact of the comics - The Count (never named Dracula) is visiting a small Moldavian mountain village, and has set his desires on a beautiful village girl, Marta. However, Marta already has a suitor, Nicolae. Nicolae is a lycanthrope, and doesn`t take kindly to the Count`s advances on his sweetheart...
        Cue - a clash of claw and fang! But tragedy awaits for the hapless, Marta...

        The creatures of this comic are movie monsters, Dracula Meets The Wolf-Man has a retro feel. It reads like the screenplay to a Hammer or Universal film. Add to that you have the pencil-style black and white art by Francesco Francavilla with an added touch of sepia tone for that atmospheric, gothic feel...
        If you prefer your horror with visceral blood a-plenty, sex and profanity - this isn`t going to rock your world. If, however you like the old-styled gothic monsters of yesteryear - this will please.
        The comic ends with several pages of preliminary artwork, including an excellent piece by artist, Tim Vigil...
        "The eternal battle of supreme monsters..." he writes "...gotta love it!"

Overview: In the fall of 1876, three months after the murder of Wild Bill Hickock, another legend rode into Deadwood, South Dakota.

Sometimes, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword... and a legend is a hard thing to live up to.

      Work Of Art Reviewed by Captain Bintang on Aug. 18, 2010.
        Frank Frazetta was always a favourite artist of mine, his fantasy and sci-fi artwork on books and magazines I thought exceptional. And so, I was instantly drawn to this title, Frank Frazetta`s Swamp Demon.
        Expecting a gallery of pictures, I was quite surprised that this is in fact, a story. Frazetta has painted one of the covers, and the story is his. But, don`t panic - because the artwork by Josh Medors is beautiful. It`s intricate and carefully done - but then, Frazetta wouldn`t have settled for anything less, surely.

        Simple plot, a group of druids are investigating The Sacred Grove, deep in the forest. This upsets a trio of demons, who chase and hunt down the intruders. Two badly wounded druids manage to escape for a while, in the swamp. But realise one must give himself up as sacrifice, so their guardian deity can be evoked...
        Naturally, the main emphasis is on art not story, and Swamp Demon is a lovely issue.
        The last few pages have a written piece about a Frazetta studio gallery and a blog - it seems this issue is part of a series of one-shot adventures in the land of Iparsia. All part of the `Frazettaverse`, which I, for one, will be looking out for...

Requirements: CBR Reader, 54 MB.
Overview: The incredible paintings of Frank Frazetta have brought him worldwide fame, legions of loyal fans, and scores of imitators.

Icon was Franzetta’s first major retrospective in his 55-year career. Lavish full-color reproduction on deluxe art paper showcases over 65 major finished oil paintings, 25 drawings, and other pieces. This new softcover edition contains 32 new pages of additional, never-before-published art and photos. New material includes paintings of Woody Allen and Peter Sellers; concepts of Clint Eastwood for the movie poster to The Gauntlet; original concepts for the Conan book cover paintings; and character drawings for the Broadway production of Li'l Abner.

Icon: A Retrospective by the Grand Master of Fantastic Art
    Frank Frazetta artist, painter, author.
    Published by Underwood Books, 2003.

      This book is going to make Frank Frazetta fans very, very happy. Icon: A Retrospective by the Grand Master of Fantastic Art Frank Frazetta is a comprehensive look at the work of one of the world's most influential fantasy artists. Frazetta's entire career is covered, from his earliest work on L'il Abner to his unused poster art for Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn; from his powerful interpretations of Robert E. Howard's Conan character to his whimsical Hollywood parodies. More than a hundred full color prints of Frazetta's most representative work are collected here in a single handsome edition, along with photographs of the artist and his studio, quotes, and testimonial biography.

      The subject matter of Frazetta's work is familiar--brawny warriors, buxom enchantresses, and terrifying monsters--but he manages to infuse them with a rare charisma. His figures are sublime, at once naturalistic and hyper-real, and his vivid use of colors startles the eye again and again. Incredibly, this collection manages to do justice to his decades of award-winning work. Icon is a must for the serious Frazetta enthusiast.       -- by Brendan J. LaSalle

    Beautiful Reproductions of Paintings + insightful text! Reviewed by Bryan E. Leed on January 14, 2002
      This is "Icon," which is book one of three, all of which are now available. Even though all three discuss all eras of his life and career, this Icon book is probably the best one to start with, since it shows many of the works that made him famous.

      This book has a bunch of the Edgar Rice Burroughs paperback cover paintings, (Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, etc.), and Conan the Barbarian covers, too. The text explains how the Frazetta paintings on the paperback book covers were responsible for outrageously high sales of these paperback books. This is probably what Frazetta is most famous for, these paperback covers that started a trend of sci-fi fantasy paintings that were as brutally dangerous as they are beautifully painted.

      This book discusses Frank Frazetta's early childhood art, how he got into illustrating and comic books, comic strip work ghosting Lil' Abner for Al Capp, being wooed by Hollywood stars, doing movie posters during different decades, etc.

      All three books discuss the same eras, but with different details and commentary from different friends and associates. There are also plenty of insightful quotes from Frank in all three books, which explain his outlook concerning his artwork and doing business with his artwork over 5 decades.

      I remember Frazetta best for his Molly Hatchet album covers, which are both in this "Icon" book, but they are credited to the original paperback covers that they were first commisioned for, so Molly Hatchet is not mentioned.

      To me, a kid in the 1970's, Frazetta was recognized as an expert in his own category, but his work was not common to come across. So I am very pleased with all three books in this trilogy, that finally brings most of his career together in three nicely made art books.

      All three of these books are very informative and nice additions to any fans personal library. If you like Frazetta at all, then you should be quite pleased with "Icon," "Legacy," and "Testament."

    A detail biography of Frank Frazetta and his works Reviewed by Parka on April 25, 2009
      Frank Frazetta probably needs no introduction. The images that come to my mind straightaway are the almost perfect anatomy drawings of warriors and women.

      This book is a biography of Frank Frazetta looking at the illustrations he created throughout his career. It is really humbling to read how he rose from a kid drawing strange title like "The Elephant who wouldn't help" to the famous series of Conan. There are lots of interesting things to read like his working relationships with editors, his choice of keeping all his prints or how he learned anatomy in a day.

      The illustrations included are comics from his childhood, movie posters, book covers and paintings. Towards the end, the paintings are given larger print space each with the story behind the creation.

      Fans of Frank Frazetta should probably save a space on your shelf for this book.

Baby, You're Really Something!
This comic book features a stunning collection of illustrations that were originally created for paperbacks in the early sixties. These selections capture Frank Frazetta, master of depicting the female form, at his most titillating.
