Death Dealer

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This giclée is a reproduction of Frank Frazetta’s iconic creation, the Death Dealer, originally painted in 1973.

The Death Dealer artwork gained prominence as the cover art for ‘Flashing Swords 2’ and was also featured on the debut album artwork of the band Molly Hatchet. The painting depicts a sinister warrior on horseback, clad in armor with a horned helmet, wielding an axe and a blood-stained shield.

Frank Frazetta, known for illustrating characters like Conan The Barbarian and Tarzan, decided to create his own character with Death Dealer, representing a symbol of death. Despite lacking a specific narrative, Death Dealer quickly became globally recognized and beloved.

This limited edition giclée has been reproduced from the original artwork provided by Frazetta’s descendants.

Using high-quality archival inks, it is printed on 100% Certified Organic Cotton Canvas, ensuring both exceptional quality and longevity.

With only 75 copies available, this edition offers collectors worldwide the opportunity to own a piece that captures the exquisite detail of Frazetta’s work.

To enhance its authenticity, this artwork features a plate signature engraved in gold on the Passepartout. This elegant touch adds an extra level of authenticity and craftsmanship to this remarkable piece.

"When I painted Death Dealer and Silver Warrior back to back, I had been sitting on my laurels, just going through the motions. Then there was a rumor that really disturbed me. People were saying I was washed up and that I hadn’t produced anything in years. That was the loyalty I got? It made me decide to crush them and show them the old spirit. I sat down and bam, Death Dealer and Silver Warrior were born. They were both better than anything I had ever created before. It’s a crazy game I like to play” - Frank Frazetta

Frazetta’s artwork continued to inspire various mediums, including Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta’s collaborative film “Fire and Ice,” where Death Dealer influenced the character “Dark Wolf.” Frazetta hoped for animations or live-action adaptations of Death Dealer, but unfortunately, he did not witness this in his lifetime.
