I remember seeing the Creepy/Eerie comic covers, but I never bought them. A friend of mine was into Eerie and Vampirella. I recognised the artwork on one issue of Eerie and pointed it out to my friend. I bought a Frank Frazetta calendar one year.

A few years ago, I was able to purchase a couple of used Lancer Conan paperbacks at a garage sale! Did that ever bring back fond memories of my Dad's Swords & Sorcery paperback collection.

Call me tacky, but I really liked Frazetta's artwork.

Same here.I have one on my wall framed,bought it in a mall 20 some years ago.It's a Viking barbarian with his battle axe, off his horsing seeking a naked woman crouched behind a fallen tree with a dagger.Can't remember the name.My brother's been begging me for years to let him have it.Nothing doing.Won't part with it.I guess I'm just tacky trailer trash to certain people here,but what the hell,at least me and you know what we like.
Frazetta also did artwork for these Edgar Rice Burroughs paperback novels you could order from,guess...Creepy/Eerie comics.

As a big-time Robert E. Howard/HP Lovecraft/Clark Ashton Smith fan I'm a little tickled and insulted at Saddam's horrendous tastes in bad z-rate imitation Boris Vallejo/Frank Frazetta art.

I mean, seriously, he must have had his Baathist minions trolling the ass end of the sale tables at DragonCon or the World SF Cons.

I'd dig under his bed and look for the John Norman/Gor or Blade series paperbacks he probably read.

Again, it is ironic that a man born and raised only a hundred miles from RE Howards' Cross Plains killed this SOB.
