Frazetta II: The Legend Continues Trading Cards #1-20 (1993)

Frazetta II: The Legend Continues was a trading card collection published in 1993 that celebrated the work of one of the fantasy genre’s most popular artists — Frank Frazetta.

Published by Comic Images this set was the follow-up to a collection released two years earlier simply entitled Frazetta. Like its predecessor this set featured 90 trading cards measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches that shipped in blind packs of ten. Also included in the collection were three chromium and three spectrascope chase cards. Each card depicted a painting or drawing by Frazetta on one side, with a short caption and pencil sketch on the reverse.

Creepy issue 4 — The Wolfman (card #16) is taken from Creepy issue #4

The images in this first batch of cards featured artwork from Frazetta’s Tarzan work, some pen and ink sketches as well as covers for Creepy (cards #16 and #20). There’s some nice stuff here: Tarzan and the Ant Men (#5) featured a bold and resolute Tarzan, while Beyond the Forest Star (#18) showed Frazetta in top sci-fi form. And then there’s the terrific Luana (#17), one of Frazetta’s most iconic paintings.

Here are cards #1-20 from Frazetta II: The Legend Continues, both front and back. I’ll post the next 20 very soon (click here)
