Frazetta. One of the all-time greats in science fiction/horror/sword

Way too many people tried to copy his style, but never quite made the
cut.
A pity his family were/are such total shits.
Sorry to read. Smoke one for the great Lena as well.

Yea Lena Horne died too, She was cute ,. and I thought did a lot in
her time to break race barriers for me and others
Never mind cute, she was a hell of a singer. Feisty, too.
I am not so completely sold on the "race barrier" achievement,
though. In appearance, she was of that unthreatening, acceptable
"non-black" type -- straight hair, straight nose, light skin --
that is still considered to be preferable today. This doesn't
break race prejudice barriers so much as subvert them, and not in
an entirely good way because it gives in to the prejudice rather
than smash it.
Not that it matters. Hell of a singer, and that's all that
counts.
