Vanguard follows last year's hit Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta
book by J. David Spurlock with definitive reference on Frazetta Book
Cover Art.
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 follows last year's
hit, Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta and 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 collectable 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.
