Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the 12 years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he’s long overdue for this ultimate monograph.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do – he preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics, then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were interpreted by many before him, but as he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him,” and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women, nude as censorship allowed, with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed, heavy buttocked, breasts cantilevered out to there, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. Add in the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips.This monograph is the most complete ever produced on the artist, done in collaboration with the Frazetta family. It won the 2023 Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection.

The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta

All Hail the King of Fantasy Art

Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the 12 years since his death. His high energy oils of Tarzan, Conan, Vampirella and his signature Death Dealer define not just fantasy worlds, but the bodies that occupy them: fleshy, muscular, tactile and sensual. Winner of the 2023 Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection.

This book is not inexpensive; but it is worth every penny. The only downside to it is the book is HUGE and heavy. Other than that it is a Frank Frazetta’s collectors dream to have; at least in my case.

I gotta admit at first I thought the price was too much for just a book of art but holy cow this thing is impressive. How much does this thing weigh? 10lbs? It’s huge. The pages are really smooth and nice like pro art paper. And overall it was honestly worth it to me.

I have owned several Frazetta collections over the years; this is by far the best. Thoughtfully curated, delightfully massive, and beautifully printed in colors that must be seen to be believed. I am now thanking the acquaintance who borrowed my old two-volume paperback set and never returned it -- if I still had those old things, I would not have bought this gloriously resurrected chunk of my youth. Long live FF!

Simply the best single volume work on the great Frank Frazetta. You will need a reinforced coffee table for it to sit on, it’s massive and VERY heavy! The only negative is that Amazon post it out sticking their address labels on the cardboard presentation box it resides in….
