Today, February 9, is the birthday of Frank Frazetta (1928-2010). It’s hard to believe it’s been over fifteen years since we lost him.

His influence is still felt today and will be for years to come. His iconic covers for the Lancer edition of Robert E. Howard’s Conan collections alone will ensure that.

He is arguably the greatest fantasy artist of the last century.

There’s not much I can say about Frazetta that hasn’t been said before, and better, by toher people. I’m not going to write a long post.

I just wanted to acknowledge his birthday.
