I remember when I was a kid I thought that Frazetta's painting were some part of folklore-they were everywhere, and most important, they didn't seem man-made! Only later I discovered that Death Dealer and Conan are not national heroes (unfortunately) but masterpieces made by Frank Frazetta. The film is perfect blend of Frazetta's both sides of career - epic and warm. It consists of comments (better say "honest glorifications") of Frazetta's work by his colleagues, comic illustrators, with slideshows of his most famous works and his artistic biography, and simultaneously tells story about normal guy, devoted to his family, friends and passions, in such a worm way that it could easily put this film in "drama" section. It's really nice to see that such genius is not some cranky old warlock living in highest tower where he paints with virgins' blood and cat's tail, but regular funny guy, which makes him even greater.
