Douglas Sunlin just posted that Frank Frazetta died today at the age of 82 of a stroke. He had earlier suffered a long-undiagnosed thyroid condition and a number of smaller strokes that marred the use of his right hand. He taught himself to draw with his left; that's the kind of guy he was! He remains the most vibrant pulp illustrator of all time, having shown us exactly what Conan, Tarzan, John Carter and others looked like. I discovered him in my pre-teen years and remain a huge fan even today, and he inspired so many people. His imitators are legion but never attained a similar vibrancy! |
