1928 - 2010
Not only was Frank Frazetta one of the best fantasy artists that ever lived, bringing unfathomable scenarios screaming to life on canvas for comics, movie posters, books, magazine and album covers for over half a century...(his body of work alone is badass enough)...but after a series of strokes, the fucking guy taught himself to draw from scratch with his left hand, in his mid-fucking-seventies! Now that's a man's man. R.I.P. If you want a good crash course, check out the 2003 Frazetta doc Painting With Fire.
My all time favorite, Spider-Man (1966):

Frank was the fucking man! Admire his work and determination. Whenever I think of him I have this image in my head of the "Fire and Ice" poster he did for the Ralph Bakshi movie... Used to stare at that poster for hours...
