Frank Frazetta’s granddaughter, Sara, continues to share fascinating stories about all things Frazetta on her YouTube Channel and, in case you’ve missed them, I thought I’d share some links so everyone can get caught up. (And, psst, you can also visit the Frazetta Girls website to learn more about her grandparents and be tempted by all sorts of neat products, including prints, apparel, and collectible figures.)

First up is an episode devoted to collecting Frazetta’s original art—and Sara reveals what her grandmother Ellie’s real plans were for the museum she built.

Next Sara explains how Frazetta came to do a series of TV Guide ads for Battlestar Galactica after he had turned down a commission to paint a poster for Star Wars.

And conservative Nixon-supporter Frank Frazetta cheerfully working for the anarchistic hippies at the National Lampoon?!? 1+1 doesn’t add up to 2—until Sara explains it all. Plus, she caps the video with a funny story about her grandmother’s gifts from “Santa.”

Above: Frazetta’s first cover for National Lampoon. Ellie titled it “Desperation,” but the Lampoon‘s editors gave it the tongue-in-cheek title of “White Man’s Wet Dream” in the editorial.

Finally, Sara talks about her grandfather’s series of cover paintings for Karl Edward Wagner’s Kane paperbacks and explains how Warner Books’ art director Gene Light convinced him to take the job.

Sara has plans to increase the frequency of her videos with episodes devoted to all sorts of Frazetta history with interesting back-stories coming up in the near future. I’d suggest subscribing to the Frazetta Girls’ YouTube Channel to avoid missing out on all the fun!
