Hello readers,

For those that did not hear, we lost a legend this week. Frank Frazetta passed away this past Monday, and the world of comics is a sadder place for it. There are plenty of excellent blogs out by now about the life and times of Mr. Frazetta, so I won’t go into a full biography of the man, but I will share some of his work with you so that we can all marvel at the man’s amazing talent one more time.

For those not familiar with Frank Frazetta, the man was an inspiration to generations of illustrators, sculptors and painters. Even if you think you haven’t seen his work, you probably have and just didn’t know it. Frazetta’s work graced album covers, comic books, movie posters and more. He redefined the look of Conan the Barbarian and Vampirella. The guy was such a stud that later in life when he suffered a stroke and lost fine motor function on his right side, he taught himself to paint and draw left handed. Anyway, here is some of his work:

Pretty amazing stuff. Thank you Mr. Frazetta, you will be missed. And thank you readers for stopping in, Dr. Cellus is back tomorrow, and we will have some big news here on Monday, stay tuned!
