Famous Funnies #209 - Frank Frazetta cover

Frank Frazetta

Famous Funnies v1 #209, 1953 - Frank Frazetta begins the first of his series of now-classic Buck Rogers covers. In what seems to be an underground cavern, the hero defends himself against oncoming pursuers. His female companion faints at the inopportune moment. The layout is essentially a "good girl" cover, focusing less on Buck Rogers and more on the heroine's figure. Frazetta draws this more tastefully than most, carefully detailing the folds in his uniform and the curls in her hair. The textures of the cavern walls in the background create a nice contrast to the central figures. The artist does a splendid job despite the cramped cover dimensions. This is 1 of 8 Famous Funnies issues by Frazetta. /// Frazetta gallery
