Frank Frazetta (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 9 de febrero de 1928 - 10 de mayo de 2010)1 fue un pintor, historietista e ilustrador estadounidense, especializado en ciencia-ficción y fantasía. Sus diseños marcaron época en series como Conan y Mad Max y fueron copiados por ilustradores de género en todo el mundo. Biografía A la edad de ocho años, ante la insistencia de sus profesores, sus padres lo matricularon en la Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts, a la que acudió durante ocho años. Su talento era tal que su profesor, Michael Falanga, quiso llevárselo a Europa para que prosiguiera sus estudios. Sin embargo Falanga murió en 1944, por lo que su plan nunca se llevó a cabo. Publicó sus primeras historias en comic-books (The Snowman) en 1944 a la temprana edad de 16 años. Más tarde hizo series para DC Comics ("The Shining Knight" en Adventure Comics), ME ("White Indian" en Durango Kid), las cubiertas ahora clásicas de Buck Rogers y también trabajó con Dan Barry en la serie Flash Gordon. Se alejó, sin embargo, del arte para meterse en el mundo del béisbol, pero sin frutos, y decidió volver al cómic a fondo tras trabajar unos años con Al Capp. En los años 60 tuvo que empezar de nuevo, logrando entre 1965 y 1973, con Warren Publishing, otra explosión creativa que ha dejado una amplia huella en muchos de los ilustradores de Ciencia Ficción actuales (Jeff Jones, Berni Wrightson, Michael Whelan, Don Maitz, Boris Vallejo, etc.) quienes fueron llevados, inspirados o instruidos en pintar en este estilo "Frazetta" tan nuevo y dinámico. Trabajó de cartelista en las películas ¿Qué tal, Pussycat?, Tras la pista del zorro, El baile de los vampiros y Ruta suicida, entre otras. 2 Los años posteriores supusieron una consolidación en su labor artística produciendo una serie de libros que recogen lo mejor de su arte. Frank Frazetta murió el 10 de Mayo de 2010, a la edad de 82 años, víctima de un derrame cerebral http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Frazetta Frank Frazetta (February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010[2]) was an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for work in comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media. He was the subject of a 2003 documentary. Frazetta was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999. Biography Early life and career Born Frank Frazzetta in Brooklyn, New York City, he removed one "z" from his last name early in his career to make his name seem less "clumsy". The only boy among four children, he spent much time with his grandmother, who began encouraging him in art when he was two years old. He recalled in 2010, a month before his death, When I drew something, she would be the one to say it was wonderful and would give me a penny to keep going. Sometimes I had nothing left to draw on but toilet paper. As I got older, I started drawing some pretty wild things for my age. I remember the teachers were always mesmerized by what I was doing, so it was hard to learn anything from them. So I went to art school when I was a little kid, and even there the teachers were flipping out. At age eight, Frazetta attended the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts, a small art school run by instructor Michael Falanga. "e didn't teach me anything, really," Frazetta said in 1994. "He'd come and see where I was working, and he might say, 'Very nice, very nice. But perhaps if you did this or that.' But that's about it. We never had any great conversations. He spoke very broken English. He kind of left you on your own. I learned more from my friends there." In 1944, at age 15, Frazetta, who had "always had this urge to be doing comic books", began working in comics artist Bernard Baily's studio doing pencil clean-ups. His first comic-book work was inking the eight-page story "Snowman", penciled by John Giunta, in the one-shot Tally-Ho Comics (Dec. 1944), published by Swappers Quarterly and Almanac/Baily Publishing Company. It was not standard practice in comic books during this period to provide complete credits, so a comprehensive listing of Frazetta's work is difficult to ascertain. His next confirmed comics work are two signed penciled-and-inked pieces in Prize Comics' Treasure Comics #7 (July 1946): the four-page "To William Penn founder of Philadelphia..." and the single page "Ahoy! Enemy Ship!", featuring his character Capt. Kidd Jr. Frazetta was soon drawing comic books in many genres, including Westerns, fantasy, mystery, and historical drama. Some of his earliest work was in funny animal comics, which he signed as "Fritz".[citation needed] In the early 1950s, he worked for EC Comics, National Comics, (including the superhero feature "Shining Knight", Avon Comics, and several other comic book companies. Much of his work in comic books was done in collaboration with friend Al Williamson and mentor[citation needed] Roy Krenkel. Noticed[citation needed] because of his work on the Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies, Frazetta started working with Al Capp on Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner. Frazetta was also producing his own strip, Johnny Comet at this time, as well as assisting Dan Barry on the Flash Gordon daily strip.[citation needed] He married Massachusetts native Eleanor Kelly in New York City in November 1956.[citation needed] The two would have four children: Frank Jr., Billy, Holly and Heidi.[citation needed] In 1961, after nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to comic books. He also helped Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder on two or three stories of the bawdy parody strip Little Annie Fanny in Playboy magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Frazetta Fans Collectors , check and find Frank Frazetta prints...
