I_ think_ ads. started appearing in SSOC for the books and / or posters / or portfolios so I think that was my first encounter with Frazetta . Later the Sphere books started to appear over here but as by this time I was looking for them anyway , the Frazetta connection didn't matter. I_was_disappointed when the non-Frazetta covers started to appear so I suppose that does indicate he _did_have an influence , albeit subconsciously I suppose. Terry http://terryallen.mybravenet.com
