First comic art published when he was only 16 (Tally Ho comics). Other assignments followed, allowing Frazetta to show his versatility (from loveable animals to westerns to sci-fi). From the early 1950s and into the 60s, handled art chores for Al Capp's Lil Abner comics. Best known for magazine covers for Warren Publications (Creepy, Eerie, Vamiperella, Blazing Combat) and paperback art for Edgar Rice Burroughs adventures (Tarzan, sci-fi titles) and Robert E Howard barbarian epics (Conan). Did several movie posters in the 1960s, usually for comedies, and more action-oriented films in the 70s. |
