I still remember that moment, as a child, when I saw that baby blue Econoline van parked outside the arcade with “The Silver Warrior” airbrushed on its side. I remember the thrill that ran through me as I beheld this magic mural; my world up until then had been Fischer-Price and Hanna-Barbera, and I simply hadn’t known there could be art like this!  It would be a few more years until I learned the name “Frazetta” and matched it with this fantastic artwork. But the fact that this one painting (even badly copied onto the side of a plush van) spoke to me as a child testifies to the power of the man’s work.
