I visited the Frazetta museum run by his family. Amazing to see the original artwork up close, the paint strokes are masterful and the colors more vibrant. This book does it Justice.
Beautiful book. I have a lot of his books but not this one. He’s one of my inspirations to becoming the artist I am now. Met him at his gallery many years ago. I’m trying to schedule to go again to shoot a video for my channel. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve got this, beautiful. There’s also Taschen oversized versions of Amazing Spider-Man , Fantastic Four, and the Avengers. Scanned from the best existing original comics from collections they could find so you can experience today what they would have looked like as though you’d brought them on from time their publications I’ve got Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four and it reprints the first twenty issues or so and they are beautiful
Got this a couple of months ago. Great book and probably the largest you will ever see his art in a book. Taschen also came out with 75 Years Of DC Comics: The Art Of Modern Mythmaking by Paul Levitz in 2010. It is an XL book, same size as this Frazetta book. Very good. Smaller version have been released since but you can still get the XL if interested. Has great detail on all DC history.
Sorry. One last mention on the Taschen DC book. There are many full page comic covers in there. It is many more pages than the Frazetta one. The largest you will see most of the classic covers.
I heard that Frazzetta "blew up" when his art adorned the Robert E Howard Conan paperbacks published during the late 60s and throughout the 70s. Not sure if it is true. I was too young at the time, but those Conan covers were great. Some people have said that those covers were a big part of the Conan resurgence and success.
I was disappointed by the use of AI upscaling on some B&W sketches from the first chapters so I had to return it as it had too many AI artifacts. It's a real shame as the rest of the color chapters look great.
This is one of my favourite books in my collection. They did fabtastic work getting all these scans and photos in such amazing detail.
It's Taschen. It's top of the pops.

Hands down the most gorgeous book in my collection. 10/10 recommend this to any fan of art.

There is no end to how much of this beautiful art I would love to decorate my home with.
Same, man
I got this a while back and it's one of my favorites!
I swear by the gods both old and new that will that book in my collection!!! 😀👍
Amazon its selling the reprint in only 30 dollars, this october.
Excellent review and show of this amazing book, the book itself looks fantastic ..
I heard that Frazetta was great, but this is out of this world. I was not ready
I love this book. Amazing work. Frazetta is the master.
Beautiful! Marvelous!! Brilliant!!! Magnificent!!!! Thanks Omar!!!!!
This is the book Crocodile Dundee pulls out when he sees someone else pull a book on him.
Holy crap, this book looks beautiful.

Would be cool for you to do a review of the Taschen DC History book XL by Levitz. It could be a retro review.

This is gorgeous
I’m so glad you did an overview of this. I’ve always wanted to see what this book contains. 👍🏼
Taschen does amazing books and their sales are great a while back i got their spider-man book for $100 free shipping and and no tax
I'm really hoping this goes on sale in January. I was hoping it would be on sale last month 😂
I would recommend Taschen's EC Comics book.... nearly as good as this Excellent Frazetta book!
Would LOVE to get one of these, but can't afford it. Will have to be happy with my Vanguard hardcovers for the time being.

Wonderful.
Nice video. What X-Men book is Omar referring to towards the end of the video?
1448 is my fave. I have my copy,and have gone through it several times.
Will there be a review on batman golden age omnibus vol.1? And if so when? Im conflicted if I should buy it
I'd love to pick this book up, but it won't fit anywhere in my house. Maybe with the board games?
Never heard of Frank Frazetta until this video. That artwork is really phenomenal. Would absolutely love to have this in the collection.
Frazetta always amazing always
What a beautiful book.

Omar, if you keep that you got to get the whole line... I'll take it for you...for friendship. I'm jealous
Flash sale happening right now 😌
That's when I bought mine. Incredible for $100. Now that I have it, would buy at full price.
You didn't explain that there are different languages in the book
Day 1 of asking Omar to do a star wars reading order
it doesn't fit into my book shelf...its so massive you can choke a dozen brachisaureses!
…INSANE…
are we all just not going to talk about the marvel age omnibus????
I don't even know that is....
Is it good?
hasn't been released yet but Omar just casually drops it in for a size comparison
No, we're not
