Frank Frazetta on holiday

I find myself struggling sometimes to get that perfect gift for the Frank Frazetta fan in my household. Sure the guy's done tons of art in illustrious career but how can you decide what specifically makes a good gift? What if I were to tell you that Image Comics is offering a collection of Frazetta's works? Is that something you'd be interested in? The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta returns this holiday season in a second collection of Frazetta's one-shots. It's expected that this thing is going to sell out faster than the Nintendo Wii two years ago so you may want to get a preorder in sooner than later. And it's not just a random assortment of some of his finer works. No sir/ma'am, it's something that fans will definitely want to pick up this holiday season. "THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF FRANK FRAZETTA continues to honor the wide breadth of material beloved by fans of the master artist," Frazetta Comics editor Jay Fotos said. "We've gone to great lengths to ensure the newest volume will be released in time for the holiday season, but we highly encourage those looking to grab a copy to pre-order to ensure theirs is received in time as there will only be a limited amount of copies before the new year." The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta, Vol. 2 is an oversized, limited-edition hardcover that collects Neanderthal, Moon Maid, Sorcer and Freedom from the Frazetta Comics imprint. Each chapter presents a new adventure by creators such as Tim Vigil, Jay Fotos, Joshua Ortega, Chris Ryall, Nat Jones & others, all stamped with the Frazetta seal of approval. There's also never-before-seen bonus scripts, preliminary sketches, unused pages and much, much more. The 178-page full color tome will run you $29.99 and will be available December 24. A last minute Christmas gift sure but it at least it will be obtainable before Christmas. Full press release below.
