    That’s excellent artwork; I almost want to create a story that revolves around that one scene. Impressive artwork, the human character is especially captivating.

    This is the first I’ve heard of the guy and I’m already morning the loss.

    (Best wishes for you in the afterlife, Frank Frazetta.)
