burntboy Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ditto - those are all sweet books - i love all things Frazetta and that creepy 7 cover has always been a fave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hugely disappointing at WW Philly. One dealer had a short box of magazines and maybe a handful of wall books spread around. The rest of my non magazine haul. Found this sweet Frazetta cover. Ken Kelly was there so had to pick up a few prints and he was signing them for free.

wombat Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Those Ken Kelly prints are doooooooope! I regretted not getting some bigger prints he had that were really not that expensive. I thought I would be spending more on comics. He also had a few originals I should have picked up. He was very friendly. I had on a Frazetta t shirt and he commented on how that was his teacher.

Frazetta was also his Father-in-Law, and he helped with a few pieces. The girl on the cover of Vampirella #6 for instance, Kelly was having trouble with her, and Frank fixed it for him. Take a look sometime, it's a Frazetta girl, especially the face and hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makmorn Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yeah, maybe it was nephew, related in some way. Either way, Frank helped with the girl on that cover, and I think it was Kelly's first commissioned piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 I can't believe I actually found a magazine at my local shop. Not in great condition but I was so happy to see a magazine it didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Its funny how different covers go up and down on my list of favorites. #5 is growing on me. Probably means I look at way too much Frazetta art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNYHUMAN Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Couldn't resist a good deal on ebay. 2 classic covers. The # 5 is special to me. My Mother bought me that issue when I was a wee lad , home sick in bed. 1st time I saw Frazetta. I felt a whole lot better as the day went on.

wombat Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) That's awesome. The first Frazetta art I remember as a kid was Dark Kingdom. I got it as a puzzle. Edited June 26, 2016 by wombat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
