If you're a collector of fine art and are attending the
upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, there is one booth you'll want to set aside some
time to explore: Profiles in History's, which will contain not only two
original oil paintings by Frank
Frazetta, valued at up to a combined, but also The Frank Darabont
Collection, a virtual who's who of comic artists that will blow your mind, all
of which will be going up for auction. You'll notice that the number of artists
listed below jumps dramatically and (if you research the individual artists)
they tend to specialized specifically in fantasy art (as opposed to many of the
artists above who were illustrators or painters for pulp fiction magazines).
The Times reported in that a single
volume containing multiple reproductions of his work, The Fantastic Art Of
Frank Frazetta, copies for Bantam in its first two years on the market - a hit
by any standard and an almost unfathomable one for a book of pulp art
paintings.
There's an interesting back story to that Frazetta cover: It
was drawn and conceived as a Buck Rogers cover for Famous Funnies, but Eastern
Color Printing didn't use it. Instead, the company picked it up and, after
a few alterations, it finally hit the stands.
As a big fan of pop-culture and movies he also runs the
online art prints and posters websites - / , an online catalog of artworks, art
prints and posters provide Frazetta
Prints for sale visitors and customers an unparalleled shopping
experience by providing quality art products, easy shopping and low prices with
best customer service. For more information, please visit our site http://www.frazettagirls.com/
