Description

Every single Frazetta book cover, each on its own page, presented in chronological order.

This Slipcased Deluxe edition features a 16-page bonus folio comprised of vintage Frazetta frontispiece drawings which, often opened early books Frazetta painted covers for.

From the publisher:

Frazetta is the revolutionary fantasy artist of Conan, King Kong, Death Dealer, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Lord of The Rings and more, whose original art sells for millions.

This new 2022 Frazetta book is similar to Vanguard's earlier Frazetta Definitive Reference book. But, it is superior in at least one regard. Instead of cataloging Frazetta items with mostly smaller illustrations, this new book is devoted solely to the artist's single, most beloved venue, Book Cover Art.

By focusing on this specific area, the book boasts room enough to feature every single one of Frazetta's famous and highly collectible illustrated book covers, beautifully and authentically reproduced at a larger size on a page to itself. All are presented in chronological order which, gives readers a unique ability to follow Frazetta's evolution as an artist.

Accompanying text includes commentary, original publication titles, publishers, dates, and rare quotes from the artist himself. For this Definitive Reference to feature the Complete Collection of Frazetta's decades of book cover illustrations, in a single beautifully produced volume, is a dream come true for Frazetta fans, art and book collectors and historians alike.
