Frank Frazetta! He''s been rightfully called "The Grand Master of
Fantasy Art"! But, it''s little known that Frazetta also conquered other
worlds in the Golden Age of Comics, as shown in his Donald Duck-ish
funny animal and hilarious hillbilly comic book stories. Even those
aware of this wonderful Frazetta art don''t know the extent - this book
is a whopping 256, large-format pages! Did we mention ferocious,
terrifying wolves and swampland creatures in the plethora of animal
stories illustrations as only Frazetta could draw them? There''s also
lions and tigers and bears - oh my! - before Frazetta''s famous
paintings captured the same subjects. But wait, there''s more! You''ll
see the roots of the Frazetta Girl in the sexy Kathy teenage girl
adventures and the hot Daisy Mae-look-alike, Clarabelle, in the
hillbilly hi-jinks stories of her beau, Looey Lazybones (Holy Li''l
Abner!). The introduction is by famed cartoon director Ralph Bakshi,
who closely worked with Frazetta when they co-produced the animated
feature film, Fire and Ice. Bakshi shares rare insights, anecdotes,
photos, and Frazetta drawings, and created a special painting of
Frazetta and himself as funny animals for this beautiful hardcover,
full-color coffee table book! Frazetta - Funny Stuff is edited and
designed by Eisner award-winner Craig Yoe.
