The Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection
FRAZETTA LEGACY COINS
Death Dealer
The Frazetta Collection kicks off with Frazetta’s iconic masterpiece, Death Dealer.
Painted in 1973, Frazetta’s Death Dealer was originally featured as cover art for the band Molly Hatchet. With its supernatural effect of foreboding terror and finality, Death Dealer has appeared in numerous comics and statues over the years. A full size steel replica standing outside the III Corps Army headquarters building in Fort Hood, Texas.
The coin’s reverse features the portrait of a young Frazetta, with wild eyes, looking forward to a bright future.
You can tell by the twinkle in his eye that Frazetta knew what greatness lay before him; this quality drove his confident manner and bold actions as he set the industry’s pace for years to come.

MEET THE ARTIST
American Science Fiction & Fantasy artist Frank Frazetta (1928-2010) has long been considered one of the most successful and influential artists of the 20th century. Inspiring a generation, his iconic images include Tarzan, The Hobbit, Conan the Barbarian, John Carter of Mars, Buck Rogers, Vampirella & many more! Over his lifespan and career, his work was widely sought by Hollywood producers, including George Lucas & Clint Eastwood, who commissioned works from him for several movie projects.
Frank Frazetta was the master of Modern Fantasy Art. As the original artist behind JR Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings, his images still influence creativity and excellence today. He was a visionary in the Sci-fi and fantasy art genre. And he gave an emotional exactitude never seen in other artists, as seen in Wild Ride. Frank never misses a stroke on her perfectly composed buttock, masterfully completed with cellulite, and redness from riding bare back.
While other artists created characters with blank or contrived faces, Frank captured the eyes of his subjects with precision. Stare into them long enough, and you’ll catch yourself looking over your shoulder, or drifting off to imagine what they see. Frank’s work went beyond even dreams or visions; it was as though he walked straight into history and painted what he saw with chilling accuracy. Like the $400,000 oil painting, Bran Mak Morn, and the bloody battles between the Nordic and Neanderthal.
He broke the mold of traditional illustrators and set his own standards. No one transfers more life to paper or canvas than Frazetta; this is his magical gift. Frazetta is able to communicate the vitality, energy, humor, mystery, and enchantment of life better than any other artist.
Frank was masterful in composition and detail. From the tiniest cluster of mushrooms, Frazetta's unique eye for detail presented a new surprise and sensory gift each time a fan would look upon the art. From animals to nudes to fairies to exotic vegetation, everything is alive! The area between where life begins and art ends was blurred out of existence. For Frank’s art was a perfect manifestation of his heart, bursting with life, intensity and passion.
Frazetta explores the beauty of simple gestures: a look, a glance, a smile, a certain attitude or pose. His brush dips directly into his imagination. The original energy of his inspiration is immediately conveyed via line and color without the diluting reliance on models, studies, swipes or photo reference.
Intricate colorations and subtle blended tints give emotional depth to each distinctive scene. The emotional expression born from color is all part of Frazetta's mastery. And let us not forget the Frazetta line. The envy of countless artists, the line is almost superhuman in its delicacy and fluidity, it is always correct, elegant and pulsing with energy.
Frazetta often used the pyramid formation in his compositions, as in ‘Silver Warrior’. This adds incredible strength and majesty, yet there still remains a poetic fluidity to the very dramatic scene.
An artist often strives for a lifetime to produce one lasting image, yet Frazetta did it routinely. There was simply no alternative. Excellence, intuition, passion and skill came authentically. Great art was just a natural side effect of being Frank.
