A 1971 Frank Frazetta painting, Conan the Destroyer, has sold, two month's after the Pennsylvania artist's death, for $1.5 million.
Frazetta's managers, Robert Pistella and Stephen Ferzoco, said that a private collector bought the painting from a family trust; it was the highest price ever paid for a work by Frazetta.
The illustrator died in Florida in May at 82. His iconic illustrations of Conan the Barbarian, Tarzan, and other characters ofthen graced comic books, album covers, and movie posters.
In recent years, his children have fought over an estate estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.
