Frank was an illustrating god!!!!  His depictions of Conan and Vampirella as well as his other body of works in pulp comics and fantasy covers are legendary.  Thank you Frank for firing up my imagination throughout my life.

THAT is a bummer! I really enjoyed Farnk Frazetta's work. I know that he was ailing...but, I am sad to see him go. Too Bad for the world of Fantasy! It makes me really treasure  the prints that I have of his work.

RIP Frank.

I enjoyed your work - whether on the cover of a Conan paperback, in an annual fantasy calendar, adorning the ancient walls of a particular pizza joint in Austin, or tattooed on my right arm.

Thanks ever so for your artistic contribution to our world.
