I'm not a huge fan of Frazetta's comics but I like this very much.; May 13, 2010 at 8:38 AM
Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: I, too, am not a huge fan of Frazetta's comics. I've always felt like they had great potential, but were too derivative of Hal Foster, and didn't evolve beyond that. But this example and the pages he did for the Warren magazines in the 60s were terrific. They were pure Frazetta, confident and stylish. He kind of gave up on comics just as he was getting to be one of the best.; May 13, 2010 at 9:28 AM

Li-An said...: Well, I don't know all his comics stuff but a cover is not a comics page :-); May 13, 2010 at 11:19 PM

Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: Huh, I coulda sworn that this came before his 'Werewolf' story for Warren, but that's just based on a decades old memory.; May 15, 2010 at 6:50 PM
