HUGE giant 40 oz shout out to Joe Pierson for making this happen for me.
Like Thorne and Corben, I put Brunner right there at the top of some bronze age masters. A lot of the "newer guys" are completely unaware of some of these artists and their contribution to our hobby.
I put Frazetta, Thorne, Brunner and Corben in that same "personal masters" class.
And now, thanks to the signature series program, I can lay claim to the top 3 "FRANKS" in our field.
1) Frank Frazetta
2) Frank Thorne
3) Frank Brunner
Coincidently, I was able to have dinner with Brunner about 2 years back after a NYC show, he was a guest of the CGC forum dinner. Me, Borock, Brunner and my buddy Jim at the same table...what a great night to talk shop.
