Frank Frazetta’s “Cat Girl” (dated 1984)
“I thought the first version had potential, but it was originally done for Warren and I had to be concerned with what they could show on the newsstand. She was blonde and was wearing a leopard-skin outfit; you know, the typical comic book jungle goddess. But it was an interesting composition and I thought, “Hey, I bet I could turn this into something really special! This version has really become a lot of people’s favorite of all the work that I’ve done. I think it really represents something of my inner being.”

In Fire and Ice (Dynamite, 2023–), he serves as the main artist, reinterpreting the universe of Frank Frazetta without directly imitating him: he translates its classic epic tone into a rawer, more contemporary version, with earthy palettes and high-impact compositions. 🔥
i have no other contribution to this discourse (i agree with the sentiment for sure) except that the original cover for the book by Ed Lindlof is so much doper
