[MOPO] Frank Frazetta gone

2010-05-10 Thread Bruce Hershenson
Frank Frazetta passed away today. He did a few movie posters, but of course he is far better known for his fantasy art. I first met him in the early 1970s at his home, and he was just what he seemed, an ordinary Brooklyn guy with a matchless artistic talent. RIP Frank. I am so sorry he lived long

WOW! I cannot explain the way I feel. Even though I never met or knew the man, my childhood was spent reading for hours all of those Creepy and Eerie magazines that he furnished the covers for. Later I REALLY got in to EC Comics and went beserk for all the artists over there. His cover for
