It does sound crazy, but there are so many lithos, books, etc. that had limited runs of 1,000-5,000. Beware though, there are a lot of Frank Frazetta Jr. autographs on his fathers work.

Makmorn Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Sadly that is true, Jr. did a lot of signing and it's very difficult to tell the difference. It's one of the main reasons I invested in signature series books over some of the other signed items. I had a go around with Jr over a drawing I bought from the museum back when Frank was still alive. He sent a drawing, but it did not match the one on the website, I am pretty sure it was Jr trying to forge Frank's work along with the signature. The one on the left is the one I thought I was buying, the one on the right was what was sent. Attached is what I sent Jr to show it was the wrong drawing. I got my money back, but it was an eye opening moment for me, I did finally get an original drawing, but not that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Jr. try to say there were more versions of this sketch or something? Glad you got your money back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCAmother Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Glad you got your money back. It's very sad, actually atrocious. Frank Jr. was busted on stealing a lot of his fathers work at the museum a while back. This was after Frank Sr. passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot the full story but didn't it entail him driving a truck through a wall to get to the artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I remember it being a super ridiculously comic event! No stealth whatever! I wouldn't be surprised if he drove a truck thru the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Case Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) About 6 months ago a very sharp looking Vampirella in CGC 9.9 sold for over 2K and i noticed issue #78 in 9.8 on Comiclink which not only looks just as sharp with the Barbara Leigh cover . It reminds me of a story i was once told to me by my brother. A friend of his use to work at American International Pictures and they were approached by Hammer Films whose owner had cast Barbara Leigh to play Vampirella in a movie. She actuallycame to the meeting as well wearing the vampirella outfit and pursuaded them to come on board. However apart from Leigh there was no other famours actor in the movie and the whole thing fell apart. which is a shame. It still surprises me that with all the vampire and vampire related films made nobody has done a big vampirella movie. Hope its just a matter of time.

Justin Case Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Fascinating website ive just come across http://www.vampilore.co.uk/models/leigh_barbara.html I love the black and white pics of Barbara Leigh. It sort of captures the moment of that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have my story to share about a purchase gone wrong and a switcheroo. In terms of the signature, even real signatures are not worth that much because these portfolios can be had for sometimes around 100-150 dollars, depending on the set. I also assumed those were real sigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
