5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sci-fi and fantasy art., January 5, 2000
Frazetta's work has graced album covers and book jackets. In this first volume you'll see some of his finest. His techniques for drawing your attention to primary and secondary points of interest in his works are done beautifully like a photographer uses light. His works are lush and sensual, celebrating the human anatomy like the ancient Greeks. The facial expressions of his subjects convey intensity, strength, and will. You can actually feel the energy jumping out at you. Too bad it's out of print, but I suspect these masterpieces will be popping up frequently in various compilations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best collection of Frank Frazetta's art in one place!, November 5, 1997
By 
If you love Frank Frazetta's art then you must see the _Fantastic Art Of Frank Frazetta_ Volumes 1 to 5. This is the most complete collection of his work in print. The reproductions are first rate and on high quality glossy paper. Although they've been out of print for over a decade it's well worth the trouble and expense to obtain these books. They will, no doubt, appreciate in value.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Peek Into the Frazetta Universe, May 19, 2010
This review is from: The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta: v. 1 (Paperback)
This slim volume of legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's work is a strong introduction to the work of a master. The artwork is reproduced carefully and the paper quality is good. The introduction by Betty Ballantine, like the book itself, is brief but meaningful.

Frazetta, who died recently, was the trailblazing fantasy artist whose work influenced generations of young artists, comic books, and readers of pulp fantasy fiction. To this day, no one has duplicated the sensuous nature of the "Frazetta Girl" archetype nor the muscle bound male ideal. My only complaint is the book is so short - it only has about 30 of his images inside. But to get a starting view of the universe of Frazetta, pick up this volume.
