Description
Frank Frazetta - Vampirella Illustration Original Art (1991). Bearing all the hallmarks of the artist's distinctive and influential style, presented is a spectacular original drawing featuring the beloved vampire superheroine Vampirella, rendered masterfully by the hand of the great Frank Frazetta (1928 - 2010). Hailing from the planet Drakulon, Vampirella began as a horror story hostess before quickly becoming a full-blown fan-favorite leading character of Warren Publishing's Vampirella magazine. This fantastic drawing of the heroine is reminiscent of Frank Frazetta's cover art illustration for Vampirella #1, an iconic image of both the character's history and the career of the legendary fantasy artist. Excitingly, this drawing also features a winking deviation from the original design (note the subtle bat tattoo!) Showcasing soft hatching, smooth blending, and idealized proportions, this must-have piece is textbook Frank Frazetta. The original work of Frank Frazetta is some of the most desirable for any discerning collector, and many pieces are valued at six or even seven figures. His illustrations are not only considered the best in the genre of fantasy art, but in the history of illustration as a whole. Signed by the artist himself and dated 1991, this drawing will be a highlight of any collection. An original Frazetta Vampirella! The drawing is rendered masterfully in graphite on 14" x 20" Bristol paper, and Vampirella measures a large and centered 8.5" x 9.25". The illustration shows minor handling and edge wear with light smudging and a small fold in the upper right corner, and the condition is Very Good.More information about Frank Frazetta.
