award-winning author, historian, educator, advocate for artists' rights,
documentary filmmaker, and associate to star talents Frazetta, Basil
Gogos, Neal Adams, Steranko, Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Julius
Schwartz, Wally Wood, and many more. Spurlock's book How to Draw Chiller Monsters,
for Random House, rose as high as #18 on the Bookspan best-seller
list. Spurlock's IPPY Award-winning book, Alluring Art of Margaret
Brundage, has been universally acclaimed including by MTV and by the
Village Voice who proclaimed it one of The Best of 2013. His guest

TV and a live audience if 4,600; The Famous Monsters of Filmland
magazine re-launch convention; the Frank Frazetta tribute event at
the San Diego Comic-Con; Rutgers School of Law; and University of the

According to the New York Times, Frank Frazetta
"helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of
Mars with signature images of strikingly fierce, hard-bodied heroes and
bosomy, callipygian damsels." Frazetta took the sex and violence of the
pulp fiction of his youth and added even more action, fantasy, and
potency, but rendered with a panache seldom seen outside of major works
of fine art. His work has drawn comparisons to illustrators Maxfield
Parrish, Frederic Remington, Norman Rockwell, and N.C. Wyeth as well as
fine artists like Rembrandt and Michelangelo. Frazetta works sell for
millions of dollars and his work has inspired generations of artists,
movies, and directors including the Conan films, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the films of Robert Rodriguez, the epic, award-winning Game of Thrones series, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, Disney's animated Tarzan films, Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and George Lucas' Star Wars series.
