With his paintings now breaking auction records, he's long overdue for this ultimate monograph. This has a LOT of material rarely or never before seen. Many nudes that Frank just did for himself are here; early work from his youth and early days in comics, \u003cem\u003eLi'l Abner\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThunda\u003c\/em\u003e pages, early comic book covers -- all from his original art. There are also later advertising works never before collected, early paperback covers now show from the paintings. There's also a good bibliography of many of the works originally published as paperback, magazine and book covers.\n\nFrank claimed to make art only when there was nothing better to do -- he preferred playing baseball -- yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics, ghosting Li'l Abner, then finally to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers which put him on the fantasy map.\n\nHe used his first-hand knowledge of muscle, macho, and gorgeous women gained from living on the streets of Brooklyn, to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women, as nude as censorship allowed, with pixie faces and idealized bodies. There are a LOT of nudes here, including paintings that Frank redid after publication, sans clothing! His idealized woman is everywhere in evidence.\n\nAdd in the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta's art is addictive.\n\n\u003cem\u003eI was asked to edit the captions dealing with Frazetta's comic work so I made it into the Acknowledgements, and got a close up advance look at this. It's incredible.

Including many of his influential illustrations from the 1960s and '70s for the fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien, this beautiful book also features nearly a dozen previously unpublished drawings along with historical essays sharing the stories behind the art. Compiled and edited by Frank's granddaughter \u003cstrong\u003eSara Frazetta\u003c\/strong\u003e in collaboration with 2-time World Fantasy Award winner \u003cstrong\u003eArnie Fenner\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFine Lines\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the magical imagination of the Godfather of Fantastic Art. Moderate nudity.\n\nThere have been a number of books on Frazetta to come along in the past few years. But this one is different, and it's special. Most of the books have addressed his paintings, including the many covers mentioned above. But what this offers are the early pen and ink, black and white works that he was doing at the same time. These sometimes would become paintings. But many others have rarely been seen. For example here are the plates he did for a portfolio based on \u003cem\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e, a subject one rarely would think of as a Frazetta vehicle! There are also some wonderful nudes we've not seen before, as well as a photo of Ellie Frazetta in the 1970s along with Frank's illustration. It's pointed out that although legend has it Ellie was a frequent model, Frank was very clear that she was not...he used many well known actresses as well as unknowns as models for his women.\n\nThe lead-off section looks at all of Frank's b\u0026amp;w work for Canaveral Press, who had him illustrate several hardcover editions very early in the ERB revival in the 1960s. These were collected into a portfolio by Caz (\u003cem\u003eERB-dom\u003c\/em\u003e) but finally appear here in modern, high-resolution reproduction. Lord of the Rings gets its own chapter, as mentioned above. Also early on, Frank did several cover paintings and many interior drawings for Doubleday Book Club editions of ERB novels; these are nicely collected in their own section. Finally, \"Barbarians, Beauties and Beasts\" offers us several never before seen nudes including the Ellie Frazetta drawing, Catgirl drawings, \"Windblown\", drawn while visiting with Roy Krenkel, and several fine water color roughs of women that are also new to us.\n\nPer editor Arnie Fenner, here is the artwork entirely new in this edition:\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe unpublished art is on pages 1, 39 (one of the Vampis), 40 (two of the roughs), 45 (the Gollum rough), 60 (the two roughs), 70, 71 (all 3 printed in color for the first time), 73, 74, 76, and 77. 18 pieces, I think; some of the Book Club illustrations haven't been included in any other FF book, either, and it includes more Canaveral art [than ever before] in one place, including Caz's 1968 portfolio.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nBack cover photo of Frank in front of a wall of his paintings.

Self-described as \"lazy and difficult,\" he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet still delivering a masterpiece — often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless.\n\nHe started in comics at 16, drawing westerns and jungle adventures before joining the infamous EC Comics group.

In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him.\u003c\/em\u003e\" Using this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho he redefined fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before, and their female counterparts as thick-thighed, heavy-buttocked, and pixie-faced, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real.\n\nAll in all, Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips, and now available in a compact, attractive and affordable package.\n\n\u003cem\u003eEditor \u003cstrong\u003eDian Hanson\u003c\/strong\u003e has assembled some of Frazetta's best works together in one informative and entertaining art book.
