Book Review: The Frazetta Sketchbook
This book took a long while to print since it was announced.
The Frazetta Sketchbook is actually part of the Vanguard published series of sketchbooks. Before this there were John Romita, Al Williamson, Wally Wood, Jeffrey Jones, John Buscema, Neal Adams and Alex Horley.
This book is focused on the sketches, unlike the finished paintings you see from the other artbooks like Icon, Legacy and Testament.
There are sketches, coloured painting drafts and life drawings. Subjects are those easily associated with Frazetta such as barbarians, wild beasts, bosomy damsels, monsters, Death Dealer, Tarzan and Conan. Most sketches are accompanied by the finished paintings for comparison, with some text.
As with Frazetta, his lines and the way he poses his characters are always amazing.
Great book for the Frazetta fans and sketchbook collectors.

all the books are great but, i'd say Icon would be the definitive book to get. it has a lot of his most popular pieces...the conan covers, death dealer...
A must have one, yet £310 on
A must have one, yet £310 on amazon????? Let's be serious. Like it's not written in gold or something; what's up with these prices?
