A Less Than Fortuitous First Outing

Frank Frazetta
February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010
Rest well, good sir.

Start a new blog and a modern legend of SF and fantasy artwork shuffles off this mortal coil. Well done, me.

I can't begin to eulogize the man. Never met him. I can say, however, that his exquisite artwork has done so very much to give life and form to the literary genres and hobbies that I and others enjoy. His men were meaty, his women were voluptuous, and his creep factor was delightfully unpleasant. His depiction of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Cimmerian is nothing short of iconic. Godspeed, sir.
