Any of us that were into the graphic comic or marveled at the other-worldliness covers of F&SF, Asimov's or any of the others, knew well the name Frank Frazetta. Frazetta's genius is the ability to take larger than life characters and worlds - and bring them down to digest size.
You have to wonder at the muse that motivates this type of amazing talent. With Frazetta it was Ellie Frazetta.
We learn today from Boing Boing and Golden Age Comics that Frazetta's muse has passed away.

I think the science fiction community is a bit less colorful with this passing.

- I doubt Frank Frazetta would ever became the Frazetta (the one name only needed version) without Ellie. her belief in her husband, her drive, determination, advocacy, protective abilities and inspiration allowed him to create at another level......
