The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta (1975) Hardcover First
Product Code: 69217
This is the book that really started the Frazetta phenomenon and launched the fantasy art book genre in 1975.
It was published while Frazetta was at the height of his popularity and actively producing masterpieces for the covers of mass market paperbacks.
Ian and Betty Ballantine helped form Bantam Books in 1945 and Ballantine Books in 1952, two major publishing houses for fantasy and science fiction. Betty Ballantine edited and wrote the introduction to this bestselling art book.
This is the scarce clothbound hardcover edition made primarily for the library market. It is a very sharp, unread copy.
Even after fifty years, this Betty Frazetta art book series remain the best, most elegant collections of Frazetta art, with his best and most iconic paperback cover paintings presented as you remember them.
33 full-page color plates reproducing 30 paintings, nine full-page and three smaller black & white illustrations, and a beautifully done two-page comic story ("Cindy is Saved") reproduced in black & white from the original art.
