Do you remember what the size was on those and if they were on paper or canvas?

Frazetta used a wide variety of materials. The Conan was on canvas board as was Gollum. the Blazing Combat cover had to be on paper (watercolor). I don't recall what the Creepy was on

oh.. I remember the 4th item. It was the art for this cover by Al Feldstein

here is an old picture I took in my garage in 1994 (I took a whole bunch of pictures like this for an ad)
I still have several of these items, though the vast majority of my collection of art I disbursed from 1993-now. you can see a Frazetta Johnny Comet at right and a small sketch in a black mat to the left of the JC

I really like the Uncle creepy and the Blazing combat,those are great.
I`ve never really been a fan of fantasy work...(I know the following comment will bring down fire and brimstone on me.)
Boris V does nothing for me either, but I`m being honest.
I can however understand why others do,I appreciate the talent,It`s just not for me.

Exactly.
He's fine with the brush, but Boris lacks the power of Frazetta.

You talking about the Open Water poster with the shark bite in it?

Funny. Own the first one, love and want the hand... hate the last one (I wouldn't spend $100 on it)... and love my French ones so much more...

I think the Quad takes some beating for this title...

Poor picture but you get the idea.

Neo · « **Reply #4647 on:** March 30, 2013, 10:18:14 PM »

I wonder how many people were bidding on this? Private listing, so the bidders' identities aren't shown.

This is a question for our resident art expert T.
Is this an original? If so, wasn't the price extremely cheap?

Matias.. most definitely a forgery, especially for $900

if it was real, there would be 1000 bidders
