Welcome to episode 15 of Frazetta Friday! I’ve got another killer batch of paintings for you to check out, and like all the pics on the site, make sure to click on the ones you really like so you can check ‘em out up close (once the pic opens, click the little green arrow on the bottom for full size). Whenever possible, I dish out nice big pictures so you can devour all the meaty details of Frazetta’s genius.
Crank up some tunes, crack open a beer, smoke some weed, and enjoy!
Clawing it’s way up through the muck and grime comes yet another brutal episode of Frazetta Friday!
Though this installment lacks the generous amounts of Frazetta booty you’ve grown accustomed to, you will be knocked senseless once again by the Death Dealer! Joining him are the legendary creatures King Kong and Gollum, along with some pissed off reptiles and a whole lot of warriors looking to kick your ass.
Welcome back to another installment of Heavy Metal Monday, a new series here on Doom Cycle which features my scans from the first 10 years of Heavy Metal Magazine. Each episode is guaranteed to blow your mind with a barrage of killer artwork from all over the globe. Though you won’t see complete stories, you will find rad panels, full pages, back covers, and some cool ads. It’s going to be a killer trip so make sure to stop by whenever you see a new episode announced.
This installment features some awesome stuff! First up is a back cover from the October ’77 issue that was drawn by one of the greatest artists to ever lift a pen: Bernie Wrightson. He was in his late twenties when he created this piece, and it was the first time his work was featured in the magazine. In June of 1980, his story Captain Sternn would make it’s debut; later becoming a killer sequence in the Heavy Metal animated film.
Richard Corben is back with another trippy page from Den, and the amazing Dionnet (the dude who drew Heavy Metal‘s first cover) teams up with Sole in a featured page from In You I Am Reborn. Now, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call Moebius the greatest comic book artist of all-time (’cause he fucking is), so he’s got two pages coming at ya: The first is one in which he teamed up with writer Dan O’Bannon (Dark Star, Alien, etc.) for The Long Tomorrow, and the second is a page from How Good Is Man, which demonstrates the magnitude of his ass kicking.
Also on display is Rockblitz by Sergio Macedo, an old ad for the book Views by album cover icon Roger Dean, and a stellar page from Teonanacatl Genese by Cortman. Check this shit out!
It’s been ages since I’ve had the time to work on a new collage, but I managed to string together a few evenings to knock this one out. The photo of my bike was taken by the awesome Mikey Arnold, who’s one of my favorite photographers in the scene today. Click his name to check his stuff out, or head on over to Chop Cult, pour yourself a beer, and catch up on some of his articles.
I’m considering doing a small run of 18×24” prints of this piece, so if you’re interested in one keep an eye on the site for an announcement. If I can make a few bucks on them I’ll commission one of the cool dudes featured on the site to do some Doom Cycle tees or something.
Here’s a few close-ups:
It’s been a lengthy gap between installments, but today Frazetta Friday is back! Are you ready to take down a savage beast with your wizard hands? Is your skill with a bow enough to protect your woman from being torn apart by flying lizards? Perhaps the goddess’ saber-tooth will let you make your moves on her? All these adventures and more lie ahead… if you dare!
