And he will be buried

In a pointless helm and chain-mail bikini.

Frank Frazetta, an illustrator whose vivid colors and striking brushstrokes conjured up fantastic worlds of musclebound heroes fighting with broad swords and battle axes to defend helpless women from horrible beasts, died on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla. He was 82.

Say what you want about his subject matter, but the man could paint. His lighting, compositions and control of the medium was first rate.
