    I am truly saddened to hear this. Prints and posters of Frank Franzetta’s art, as well as many many books he painted the covers for, have graced my home(s) for many years, and his work has been a point of fascination for me since my childhood.My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.

    Sad news, indeed. At 47, he’s still one of the guys I want to grow up to be.

    Amazing talent. I grew up following his art in the 70’s— he was an inspiration to more artists than even he imagined.

    Frazetta was never a “ghost” on Li’l Abner. Not according to Frazetta expert David Winiewicz, who accurately describes the everyday mode of operation in Li’l Abner Dailies: 1954 Volume 20 (KSP, 1994). Al Capp had a platoon of assistants but never surrendered creative control of the strip; i.e., the stories, dialogue, rough layouts and character concepts were his own, as were the final inked expressions. It was way too personal a creation for me to believe anyone besides the volatile Capp was calling the shots creatively.
