Description: Up for auction if an Original Special Reproduction of Frank Frazetta's SEA WITCH printed on Silk Cloth and sold through FRAZETTA PRINTS in the 1970's. The Egyptian Queen first appeared in print in 1966 as the cover of Eerie #7 magazine. Then in 1975 it was published inside the book The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta, that book advertised posters for sale of the images in that book at a cost of $3.00 with $0.75 shipping. This book had six editions, not until the later 1977 sixth edition was there an advertisement that was added below the $3.00 print advertisement to sell Special Silk Cloth prints of two of the best sellers, the Egyptian Queen and the Sea Witch. It read as follows: SPECIAL REPRODUCTIONS ON SILK CLOTH OF COLORPLATES (42) "SEA WITCH" AND (21) "EGYPTIANQUEEN" ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR 10.00 EACH PLUS POSTAGE. PLEASE SPECIFY NUMBER AND TITLE OFPRINT WHEN ORDERING. See the second image we have to see the Advertisement from the book for the Silk Cloth Prints. In 1977, $10 was a sizeable sum to purchase a comic book art poster. Not many were sold. These are very scarce and sell for over a $1,000 when you can find one. The SEA WITCH was also used in publication on the LP cover for Wolfmother's debut and is the cover for the Opus Comics Death Dealer issue #5 in 2022. Frank Frazetta's Original Art has been setting records. The original 1969 Egyptian Queen painting that was another Cover of Eerie Magazine recently sold for $5.4 million on May 16, 2019 through a major auction house, setting a world record for Fantasy Comic Art.
