Did you think Frazetta did only barbarian art?

While on a Frank Frazetta art hunt (a Google hunt, of course) I found this gem.  I knew FF did a lot of comic art, but never heard about this one.

The scanned pages are over at Pappy’s Golden Age of Comics Blogzine — which is a real find in itself. You’ll just love clicking through the links and finding more good vintage comics.

Al Williamson Tribute

0

Alfonso “Al” Williamson shared a birthday with me.  I wish I had shared in some of his talent.

Al was one of the all-time great comic artists and was rightly recognized as such early on in his career.

He was a friend and collaborator of Frank Frazetta and his body of work included many of the big titles of the 20th century — Flash Gordon, Tarzan, the EC horror comics of the 50s and the Star Wars comic books.

Al’s artwork was dynamic and action-packed, like Burne Hogarth and Alex Raymond before him. It could be beautiful and intricate, like Hal Foster and John Cullen Murphy.
