Frank Frazetta (1928-2010) was a science fiction and fantasy artist who produced art for newspaper comic strips, comic books, book covers, paintings, posters, music album covers and other media. He is best known, perhaps, for his Conan the Barbarian art.

Frazetta, like many comic artists of the 1960s and 1970s, had a good relationship with fandom, often contributing art for zines and convention programs and giving interviews. He also had several portfolios collected by amateur publishing groups.

An extensive bibliography of Frazetta's professional and fandom work is available at the Internet Science Fiction Data Base.
