In <a href=\"http:\/\/leogrin.com\/CimmerianBlog\/?page_id=535\">May of 2006<\/a> <em>The Cimmerian<\/em> printed a symposium on the fortieth anniversary of the classic Lancer <em>Conan the Adventurer<\/em>, which included a fascinating article on Frazetta and his legendary efforts to do artistic justice to the prose of Robert E. Howard, written by artist and scholar Anthony Avacato. Now longtime <em>Cimmerian<\/em> reader Andrew Steven has tipped me off to a new Frazetta book that he&#8217;s involved with, one that Howard and Conan fans of all stripes will want to check out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanguardproductions.net\/frazetta\/index.html\"><em>Frazetta: The Definitive Reference<\/em><\/a> is billed as the most complete summation of the fantasy master&#8217;s work ever put into print. It contains a listing for every published piece of Frazetta art, along with essays by notable Frazetta scholars, and the whole works is supplemented by over eight-hundred illustrations (four hundred in full color). The volume is set to debut in August 2008 in three separate editions: softcover ($29.99), hardcover ($39.99), and deluxe hardcover in slipcase ($59.99). You can get the standard discounts by shopping through Amazon and other mass market outlets (but you are flipping a coin as to whether you&#8217;ll get the book in acceptable condition).<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Andrew for helping make this book as complete and accurate as can be. It&#8217;s always nice to have hardcore Howardists contributing to such things and ensuring that REH gets properly represented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the late &#8217;60s, Howard and Conan fans have praised and supported Frank Frazetta and his sterling work, and this new century is no different.
