Ken Kelly oil painting; 48" x 30"Few know that fantasy art virtuoso Ken Kelly is actually the nephew of the late Frank Frazetta's wife, Eleanor. While being immersed in his uncle's work, Kelly developed an imaginative and powerful style all his own. Beyond creating the immortal album covers of "Destroyer" and "Love Gun" for KISS, the artist is best known for his captivating work on Conan. And having studied under the guidance of the master, Kelly was perfectly positioned to introduce Robert E. Howard's iconic barbarian to a new generation. This cover from a 1980's TOR book, showcasing Conan and a fierce female warrior battling an otherworldly lizard creature.
