Fantasy illustrator Frank Frazetta died Monday in Fort Myers, Florida at the age of 82 from an apparent stroke.  Frazetta had suffered multiple strokes over the past few years.

After working on daily comic strips like “Buck Rogers,” “Flash Gordon” and “Li’l Abner,” Mr. Frazetta moved onto comic books in the 1950s. He drew the movie poster for “What’s New Pussycat?” in 1964, and hit his stride executing detailed illustrations of pulp heroes like Conan the Barbarian and John Carter of Mars for their comic magazines and books.

Frazetta was all over pop culture for the past 50+ years and you have likely seen his work at some point without every knowing you did.
