Title: R.I.P. Frank Frazetta

This is indeed a sad day. Frank Frazetta was one of my favorite artists of all time. When I think of characters like Conan, Buck Rogers, and Tarzan, I think of this man's art.

I'll never forget when I first started shopping at my Comic Book store, and my rebate came up on my birthday (which is your rebate number), and they gave me a free copy of a Frank Frazetta artbook. They earned themselves a VERY loyal customer that day.

R.I.P. Frank and thanks for all your talent.

Here's to you, Frank Frazetta. May your women be buxomed, your cheesecake be delicious, and your men as manly as men can be. You will be missed.
