A thick out-of-print slipcased hardcover collection of Frazetta's obscure and diverse comic book stories of the 1950s.

From the publisher:

Fantasy art’s most popular painter was also one of the finest comic book illustrators in the pre-code 1950s. Telling Stories celebrates the rare and largely forgotten stories created [seven] decades ago by this iconic artist.

This collection includes:

the complete Thunda
his best romance comics, such as “Untamed Love,” “Empty Heart,” “A Love of My Own,” “The Wrong Road,” and “Too Late for Love”
combat tales
funny animals
White Indian stories and covers
Ghost Rider covers
war comics from Heroic Comics
the Shining Knight from DC’s Adventure Comics
his only solo-drawn story for EC “Squeeze Play” complete with a special introduction
Captain Comet, a rare pre-code SF story with Al Williamson
Judy of the Jungle, a pre-Thunda jungle heroine
one, two and three page stories from the late 1940s--some of his best and most obscure works
and much, much more.

The romance stories, often overlooked, feature some of Frazetta’s finest works with shapely women, nude statues, and implied sex.

All stories are newly colored. The 18-page introduction provides an overview of Frank’s comic book career, from his first in Tally Ho Comics to his solo works for Warren magazines and Witzend. The introduction is beautifully illustrated with original black-and-white pages.

Frazetta, Frank
