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.

I might never have read any of his stuff, but the death of a fellow artist is always sad. I bow my head to him.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

I think I saw his stuff as a child. Didn't know he had a name. Shame though, cause his stuff was cool.

Well, damn...  I really liked Frazetta's work, he's one of my influences.  Got acquainted with his work through the pages of Heavy Metal way back when. 

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.

Farewell, you wonderful bastard. And may the rolling hills of Valhalla welcome you with open arms.
