Lots of faux Frazetta inked sketches were circulated in 1978 around USA comicons after the Art of Frank Frazetta vol. 1 and 2 were published. Still out there.

At one point, years ago, there were forgeries of a number of golden age covers. Oddly, the forger did more than one copy of some of the covers and they were discovered.
