On May 10 2010, Frank Frazetta, one of the greatest artists in the fantasy genre, died of a stroke after a year long battle with cancer.
Frazetta made many paintings and was illustrator of many posters and covers for movies, music albums, books and comics. His work was highly acclaimed and he has won several awards for it.
In the genres of science fiction and fantasy he will be remembered for his intense and sometimes quite graphic depictions of fantasy scenes for many movies, books and comics. In these genres, the best known examples of his work are his illustrations for Flash Gordon and Conan The Barbarian.
He will be missed by the fantasy community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
