Omni is sad to report that legendary artist Frank Frazetta passed away today at age 82.
As avid, and we mean AVID readers of Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs, we've been familiar with his work since we were children. He gave Conan the Barbarian THE persona in art that we came to know and worship from the novels. Amazing!

His work was HUGE in the 1970's and many a van had a Frazetta on the side.
His distinctive style made him one of the most sought after artists of his era. Yes, it's dark and barbaric and it's equally awesome.
He will be missed.
