DescriptionHope everyone had a great New Year! I wanted to start the New Year off with a fun posting.One of the best teams in the late 40's early 50s that raised the bar for illustrators is that of Williamson/Frazetta. They really complimented one another Williamson with his fluid work and the master craftsman Frazetta with his wonderful touches. Many think of Frazetta as mostly fantasy artist (Conan, ray guns, space scenes, etc.), but I think a lot of his early work in westerns foreshadowed his imaginative work in Sci-Fi work, especially animals. Animals are a touchpoint for artists they substantiate a work many times as part of a totem concept, to project what the illustrators want the reader to feel, power, wildness and natural violence. This may be one of the best stories the duo created (my bias!) Right from the first panel we see the powerful imagery panther attack. In each of the next three panels the subjects are addressed in a smooth, but dynamic sequence splash. Signed by Williamson (panel 1) and possibly Frazetta (top left next to "John Wayne")(?) This kind of storytelling is what kept readers coming back! Thoughts? Comments? Social/Sharing |
