Among all the weird, wonderful and warped books by him in my bookcase, these portfolio litographs signed in pencil by Frank Thorne himself are something I truly treasure. Rest easy Grand Wizard. #frankthorne https://www.instagram.com/p/CMK7UhUFPG0/?igshid=1i1m539x04yiz

“Ghita” by Frank Thorne from the F.O.O.G. Portfolio. This was published to help fund Steve Gerber’s lawsuit against Marvel, over ownership of Howard the Duck. #stevegerber #howardtheduck #frankthorne #creatorsrights #comiccreator https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm2cH4rncZx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y0wmta4nelf8

Farewell to Frank Thorne, comics illustrator, who died on Sunday. Thorne’s most famous mainstream work was on Marvel’s Red Sonja, although he also worked for Dell and Gold Key early in his career and contributed significantly to DC’s non-superhero titles (Korak, Tomahawk, Weird War Tales and others). Thorne had a way with the female form, creating sexy and tough heroines in his own series Lann (published by Heavy Metal), Ribit!, and Ghita of Alizarr. Thorne was 90 years old; his wife Marilyn passed away on the same day. . #frankthorne #ripfrankthorne #redsonja #lann #ghitaofalizarr #ribit #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CML3z2rF9mU/?igshid=zj9og9ryhnnh

Stopping for a day to address the magnificent Red Sonja art of Frank Thorne. I found issue 23 of the Savage Sword of Conan, from 1977 in a box of comics someone put out on the curb. We've been conditioned to value the slick hardness of razor sharp lines in comics , but Frank's pure drawing skill combined with his controlled use of detail is vastly underrated. His Sonja figure is about the best ever designed - athletic , attractive, feminine but not overly exaggerated. This one page is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. #redsonja #comicbookartist #amazonwomen #fantasyartwork #frankthorne #savageswordofconan #swordswomen #inkdrawing #blackworknow https://www.instagram.com/p/CONTPM_Bnh5/?igshid=dsggxti1agpt

ON SALE NOW! A new comic book by me and ALSO the longest piece of comics criticism I’ve ever written! Here’s the deets: SON OF TOMAHAWK #141 resurrects a forgotten masterpiece of American comics. In a richly illustrated book length article, Matt Seneca’s longest-ever critical essay examines a series too brilliant to survive its era. Then, in a brand new comic, Seneca continues the narrative in the original's roughneck tradition. SON OF TOMAHAWK was a brutal look at an Old West ruled by the American original sins of racism and violence, starring comics' first biracial leading man. Now, half a century later, the saga is reborn. Matt Seneca’s passion project digs up an antiracist text inspired by the burning nation surrounding it in the early ‘70s, and delivers new work to mirror its devastating impact. Open your eyes to SON OF TOMAHAWK: the best comic you've never heard of. Also available in a SPECIAL EDITION featuring an original drawing and pages from an actual SON OF TOMAHAWK comic! Link in bio! #comics #comicbook #graphicnovel #comicart #zine #zines #dccomics #western #sonoftomahawk #frankthorne #joekubert #vintagecomics #selfpublishing #drawing #art #instaart #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzX5A3jqyV/?igshid=40r6ko2vgtu1

E così, il buon Frank Thorne (16 Giugno 1930 - 7 Marzo 2021) ci ha lasciato (nello stesso giorno, a distanza di poche ore, anche la moglie, Marilyn, se ne andava). Un grandissimo disegnatore. Creatore grafico del costume iconico (un bikini striminzito) di Red Sonja. E di tante eroine dantasy-erotiche. Cosplayer ante-litteram (amava vestirsi da mago alle convention dei fumetti, circondato di modelle, la sapeva lunga!). Ho sempre desiderato il volume con le storie di "Ghita di Alizarr" (1979). Sin da quando appresi della sua esistenza nelle pagine dell'"Encicolpedia dei Fumetti" della DeAgostini. Ghita è la sgualdrina-regina di Alizarr, e per quanto sia graficamente identica a Red Sonja, il suo carattere è all'estremo opposto. Red Sonja non sorride quasi mai, mentre Ghita ama divertirsi. Avete capito come (ecco un motivo per cui non condividerò immagini del fumetto all'interno del volume). Comunque, la copia recuperata su E-bay è ben tenuta. Sono stato fortunato. L'edizione è quella italiana, in bianco e nero, della Editrice Nord del 1981. Ben fatta. Sono oltremodo contento. #FrankThorne #GhitaOfAlizarr #EditriceNord https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcY3TgABsyX4vD0iXBp_H2_Pw4w-hP3QZ_vY40/?igshid=1lz12uisojnch

My comic Red Sonja Unchained #2 was an homage to #FrankThorne. Saddened to hear of his passing today at the age of 90. RIP https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKl3B1gRSV/?igshid=6c9nqwaq4dmi

Finally after over a year and a half wait it's here! We supported this fundraiser back in late 2019 but, like pretty much everything, the pandemic slowed things down. #yyj #victoria #frankthorne #redsonja @redsonjaofficial (at Dragon Impact : Martial Art Equipment and Supplies) https://www.instagram.com/p/COW7qO5LbJ7/?igshid=1p7kyg18ac28s
