Vanguard continues their trademark Definitive Reference series with Frazetta: World's Best Comics Cover Artist, a companion book to 2022's hit, Frazetta Book Cover Art.
Art is subjective the old adage goes and, it is largely true. But could any artist actually lay claim to be the best? This book not only says it is possible but proclaims one artist to be the best comic-book cover artist. Hall of Fame illustrator Frank Frazetta is a legend whose influence grows daily and whose original art garners headlines setting records, selling at major auction houses well into the millions. Though known for Golden Age comic-book line-art for EC Comics, Famous Funnies and more, Frazetta's real comic-book revolution came in the '60s and '70s when he made history using the fine art medium of oil paint for his comics magazine covers. This book covers Frazetta's ground-breaking, Earth-shaking work like no other chronicling the artist's creative evolution chronologically.
Award-winning illustration and cartooning historian J. David Spurlock knew and worked with the artist. Spurlock last catalogued, documented, and expounded upon all of Frazetta's book cover paintings. This new volume focuses on the artist's comics magazine cover art, which originally appeared on such periodicals as Creepy magazine, Ghost Rider, Mad magazine, Vampirella, National Lampoon, and EC Comics' Weird Science-Fantasy and Tales From The Crypt.
