Fantastic Art from Frank Frazetta

Flashing Swords #1 by Lin CarterAbeBooks: Fantastic Art from Frank Frazetta: Men are manly beyond belief and women are impossibly sexy in Frank Frazetta’s genre-defining artwork for fantasy and science fiction books. You know the covers we’re talking about - heroes with rippling muscles and massive swords, and scantily-clad heroines with bodies that supermodels would envy. 


Frazetta’s career spanned more than 50 years and his work went way beyond Conan the Barbarian, but he will always be remembered for those startling book covers. His influence can be measured by the huge number of parodies that exist.

Frazetta practically created the genre of Swords & Sorcery artwork. His covers were distinctive.
