Today, February 9, marks the 91st anniversary of Frank Frazetta’s birth. Frazetta was born in 1928 and needs no introduction here. Rather than write a detailed tribute, I’m going to post some of his covers and let the artist’s work speak for itself. I’d post the reproductions of the paintings themselves, but I don’t know if fair use would cover that. I don’t want to violate copyright. In the comments, let us know what some of your favorite Frazetta works are.

I’d listed several others, but don’t see my comment. This is one of my faves!
For some reason your first comment was flagged and didn’t go through, but this one did. I’ve approved the first one.
I did an Art of Fantasy post about Frazetta’s art back in 2015. I’ll link it below with your permission. The post contains my favourite ones.
