Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated – A Master’s Vision Brought to Life in Comics

Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated was a stunning yet short-lived magazine that brought the legendary artistry of Frank Frazetta into the world of comics and illustrated storytelling. Launched in 1998 by Quantum Cat Entertainment, this beautifully produced anthology featured original fantasy, sci-fi, and horror stories inspired by the painterly, larger-than-life worlds Frazetta was known for.

Unlike traditional comic books, Fantasy Illustrated had a prestige magazine format, offering lush, full-color artwork and high-end production values that set it apart from the average comic anthology. With contributions from top-tier artists and writers, including Steve Niles, Rick Veitch, and Mike Carey, this series was a visual feast of sword & sorcery epics, dark horror tales, and visionary science fiction. Though it only lasted a handful of issues, it remains a treasured collector’s item, a fitting tribute to Frazetta’s impact on fantasy art and storytelling. A glimpse into a world where every brushstroke tells an epic tale.
