Frank Frazetta - Original Sketch  Death Dealer  (undated)
Frank Frazetta - Original Sketch "Death Dealer" (undated). As a character, Death Dealer has survived many incarnations. Novels have boasted his name, comic books carry his image -- Frank Frazetta himself has painted at least five different images of the dark warrior. This unidentified color sketch shows Frazetta's famous faceless fighter, holding one big nasty axe, surrounded by horrific green women, and facing a deadly tentacled beast. Only a master artist like Frazetta could bring style and grace to creatures so grim. This unique peek into the creative underworkings of a master illustrator measures an overall 7.5" x 10.25" with the Death Dealer image drawn at 5.5" x 7", in pencil and painted with watercolor. Additionally, there is a detail drawing of the tentacles at the bottom of the art. Interestingly, the format and props in this sketch are very similar to Frazetta's painting, "Green Death." Signed by Frank Frazetta. Provenance: The Alexander Gallery. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour.

We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder.
