Frank
Frazetta’s Funny Stuff
Click here for a preview!
Frank Frazetta (w & a & c)
Frank Frazetta! He's been rightfully called "The Grand Master of
Fantasy Art"!
But, it's little known that Frazetta also conquered other worlds in
the Golden Age of Comics, as shown in his Donald Duck-ish funny
animal and hilarious hillbilly comic book stories. Even those aware
of this wonderful Frazetta art don't know the extent--this book is
a whopping 256 page, large-format pages!
Did we mention ferocious, terrifying wolves and swampland creatures
in the plethora of animal stories illustrations as only Frazetta
could draw them? There's also lions and tigers and bears--oh
my!--before Frazetta's famous paintings captured the same
subjects.
But wait, there's more! (As they say.) You'll see the roots of the
Frazetta Girl in the sexy Kathy teenage girl adventures. And
there's the hot Daisy Mae-look-alike, Clarabelle, in the
hillbilly hi-jinks stories of her beau, Looey Lazybones (Holy Li'l
Abner!).
The introduction is by the famed cartoon director Ralph Bakshi who
well knew Frazetta and closely worked with him when they
co-produced the animated feature film, "Fire and Ice." Bakshi
shares rare insights, anecdotes, photos and Frazetta drawings. And
Bakshi has created a special painting of Frazetta and himself as
funny animals for this beautiful hardcover full-color coffee table
book! Frank Frazetta's Funny Stuff is edited and designed by Eisner
award-winner Craig Yoe.
