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.
