Reviews / Votes
"My bookcase is chock full of J. David Spurlock's Vanguard books. They are ESSENTIAL for any true Frazetta fan and connoisseur. The Sensuous Frazetta book provides a wonderful overview of the role that sensuality and eroticism played in Frazetta's career. Frank drew and painted women in such a unique manner. His women 'Live' on the page. They touch us, affect us, enflame the mind and imagination. I thought I had seen every single image of females drawn and painted by Frank. However, a surprise on page 12 of this volume is a sensational illustration that was brand new to me. What a complete treat! This one illustration justifies any cost...a fresh Frazetta, never before seen. Extraordinary. Spurlock's Sensuous Frazetta is the definitive work on the Frazetta female." - Dr. David WiniewiczMore details
