Frank and Ellie have held the Famous Funnies covers close to their hearts and are VERY reluctant to let any go (I know, I try on a monthly basis!!)

They are gorgeous!!!!

Even better in person!! I strongly recommend that everyone make at least one trip to the Museum, you won't be disappointed.

I thought the Buck Rogers/WSF 29 original was actually quite large? Is that the original?

[spider9698]

That is the original. Same size as the others, maybe a few inches larger.

Jim has a Frazetta cover for each title that he worked on (save the WSF 29)

How much do you think this will go for?

Fascinating to note Frazetta's (apparent?) interest in Africa.

 

About the same time frame as this painting was completed, British artist Frank Bellamy (another 'Frank') was illustrating (full-colour painted art) a series entitled FRASER OF AFRICA, for Britain's EAGLE magazine. It appears that both Frazetta and Bellamy may even have used the same reference. Here's a part-scan of a Bellamy FRASER episode (from a lousy copy of a reprint of the strip):

You've got that right....the place is awesome....gives you chills walking around looking at this stuff.....

Heritage had the piece in their Fine Art Auction in November and was available as a post-auction BIN of $120K. It is a magnificent piece (saw it in person in Dallas). The main issue I have with it is that it is not his classic subject matter. PS: The painting that Heritage has is NOT the same one shown in the Frazetta Museum photo. Frank painted a second one after he sold the first.

Right. Those are very different pieces.
