Frank Frazetta, one of the greatest artists of our time has died. He was an incredible inspiration to me personally and to numerous modern artists of our genre. His work on Creepy and Eerie captured erotic images and fired the imagination of our genre!

Most people know of his incredible covers for the Conan the Barbarian paperbacks, but my favourite tale is from Creepy #16 where a man strangles a topless jungle girl to death. The cover is by Frazetta; although, the interior art is by another great, Neal Adams.
Here is the cover image from that issue:

A great talent has departed this world, but he left a very rich legacy behind!

Frank Frazetta was my favorite artist of all time. I have other favorites in particular genres, but Frazetta was in a class by himself. His art, and especially his cover illustrations set the mold for my own imagination. Hundreds of novels were read by myself, the visuals defined by him.

The world without Frazetta seems very wrong. I mourn his passing.
