Frank Frazetta, the master of illustrators has died.
His work was one of the major influences on me as a kid. Frazetta worked in everything from cartoons strips (Lil' Abner) to Little Annie Fannie in Playboy.
His sword & sorcery paintings redefined the genre, but no one (in my opinion) was ever able to catch the menace and power like Frazetta.

Even ill health couldn't keep him from painting. Sidelined by a series of strokes, Frazetta taught himself to paint with his left hand. Rest in peace Mr. Frazetta.
