Frank Frazetta was one of the most famous fantasy artists who painted more than 150 covers for fantasy novels, along with movie posters, album covers, comic book covers plus his own original paintings. His works influenced so many painters as well as sculptors. His most well-known works were associated with Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian.
