Iconic Sc-Fi/Fantasy artist Frank Frazetta has passed away at the age of 82 after suffering a stroke. Frazetta was an illustrator of movie posters, comic books and paperback book covers and probably best known for his illustrations of Conan, Vampirella and John Carter of Mars.

Mr. Frazetta is survived by three sisters, Carol, Adel and Jeanie; two sons, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, known as Frank Jr., and William Frazetta, both of East Stroudsburg; two daughters, Heidi Grabin, of Englewood, Fla., and Holly Frazetta, of Boca Grande, Fla.; and 11 grandchildren.

[Note]

On behalf of everyone here at SciFi Mafia (contributors and readers alike), I would like to extend our sympathies to all of Frank’s family and friends.
