Mmehdy Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) The largest format book ever published is going to be released in two formats by Vanguard Publishing on June 30. I have pre-ordered the limited signed edition with 16 extras pages and signatures some time back. I just clicked on the Vanguard website and they have a video preview of the book. In my opinion it is one the finest art books ever published.The large format reproduction gives Frazetta the justice he deserves and it is like rediscovering his work again. I have all the Frazetta books, including Icon which is 9/10...but this one takes the cake. It is really great in these tough times to see a great product come, and we really need it.

grapeape Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Wow thank you. This is a high quality collection. Love the cover, slip case and all the delicious art inside. I still have my 1975 Frazetta that my dad got me when I was 7.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were talking about the book here. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/466942-frazetta-facts/?tab=comments#comment-11230362 I'm interested in the format of the new book as well. I know they made I think 3 versions of those old Frazetta books. Icon, Legacy, and Testament. I think those are what people would consider the reference Frazetta books. I own the slipcased versions. But I can't remember if the top version was even bigger. I'm fairly sure it came in a clam shell type case and was very expensive. But I only glimpsed it once. I guess it's time to search ebay and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmehdy Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I also think the price of the book is great, the collectors limited signed edition is only 69.99 what a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mking78 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had the cardstock cover book from the 70's, threw it away long ago as the poor printing had not held up, faded....really not a great quality book from the start. Not that I don't appreciate the efforts to bring this to a new audience, but what value (no offence meant) are the signatures of individuals other than Frazetta? I don't want these very familiar (and to be honest) way too often published artworks to be split page over page. Give me an large artist size book with EVERY print fully clear and complete.. not carried over a spine. The history of each work is appreciated, but I only really need to see what Frazetta considered his final product. I will pass, but understand the appeal to others. And the efforts of all involved appreciated. vodou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mking78 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I was a little harsh in my last post. The book indeed looks like a great buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
