SOLICITATIONS: Frank Frazetta has a funny side

Posted on by

Press Release

Frank Frazetta has been called “The Grand Master of Fantasy Art,” but did you know he did a glorious omnibus’ worth of funny sexy and funny cute stories in the Golden Age of comic books?! That’s right, hillbilly babes to hoppy bunnies were drawn with the Frazetta magic. And Eisner-winning editor Craig Yoe captures that magic in the new FRAZETTA—FUNNY STUFF large format, full-color, 256-page hardcover collection from Yoe Books. FRAZETTA—FUNNY STUFF debuts at the MoCCA Fest in New York City this weekend and will be in comic book shops this week.

SDCC’10: Most awesomely expensive geek painting sells at convention

Posted on by

Bleeding Cool reports that this awesome Frank Frazetta Conan painting sold for $1.5 million at the San Diego Comic Con in a private sale with the Frazetta Management Corporation.  It is a defining Conan image, and worthy of an Art Appreciation Moment of the Day entry, but even if the currency exchange rate of Luthor Dollars to the U.S. dollar made me a multi-billionaire, I’m not sure this would be high on my list of Need to Buys.  Now if they tossed in a couple Nagels and a Vargas or two…*

You may have heard the rumblings that Frank Frazetta is tied up in a lawsuit with a company using his name and artwork for their own means.  It’s not a rumor as the following press release reveals.

Press Release

World-renowned fantasy artist Frank Frazetta filed a complaint today with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against publisher J. David Spurlock and Vanguard Productions. The complaint alleges that in publishing the book FRAZETTA DEFINITIVE REFERENCE, featuring Frazetta’s artwork and prominently displaying his unique signature, Spurlock and Vanguard used the artist’s name for advertizing and trade purposes without obtaining prior approval, thus committing a violation of Section 50 of the Civil Rights Law of the State of New York.

ECCC Auction Raises Over $10K for Josh Medors

Posted on by

swampdemon_ad.jpgLast week at the Emerald City Comic Con, the organizers and Frazetta Comics put together an auction to benefit Josh Medors’ fight with cancer. The best part about the entire event is it raised over $10,000 for Josh’s medical bills.

“The response of the comics community and fans alike has been amazing,” Medors said. “The money raised not only helps out with medical expenses, but it also takes a great weight off my shoulders and helps me focus on what positives I can. I could never thank everyone enough for what they have done for me.”

What started off with a couple of e-mails and phone calls to a few friends turned into a mega event, with over 130 lots of donated original art, books, prints, posters, toys and statues all sold at the auction. Fans unable to attend the event can still support Josh in the Ebay auctions, an original John Romita Sr. Mary Jane sketch, Willow Creek sketch books by artists such as Eric Powell, Tim Vigil and an the opportunity to appear as a zombie in THE WALKING DEAD.

That’s great news!
