RIP Frank Frazetta

Whenever someone dies, it's always tempting to find a way to talk about how formative they were on you. I don't know why. I try to avoid doing it too much myself, but one instance where I really can't is the passing of Frank Frazetta.

I can remember in high school reading through my library's remarkably good collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs books, most of them with Frazetta covers and many with interior illustrations as well. Not only did he influence many if not all of my favorite later art...
