FRAZETTA! CRANDALL! WOOD!

This is the second -- and I believe final -- issue of the very nicely done ART FANTASTIQUE. As I mentioned in the post of the first issue, the cover was printed on slick paper and the interiors on card stock. This issue focuses on full-page illustrations by Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall and Wallace Wood. Some may look familiar, as they have appeared in many other publications, but others are not so often seen. Gaze upon the work of three masters!

VIRGIL FINLAY ART FOLIO

I hold Virgil Finlay's art in very high regard. His imaginative, ethereal illustrations and stunningly meticulous technique is rarely matched.

While his work spanned numerous genres in many different books and magazines, along with Lee Brown Coye and Margaret Brundage, I find his contributions WEIRD TALES to be among his finest.

This fanzine, published about two years after Finlay's death by Trek Publications of Texas showcases fine examples from across his subjects. Hard to see from this scan is the slick paper wrap-around cover and the interior pages printed on heavy card stock.
