French Marvel Cover Artist: Jean Frisano
Dork Note: Here are a few Marvel Reprints published in France with covers done by the French artist, Jean Frisano.
Clipped from the above link: Jean Frisano saw himself as a humble craftsman. Accordingly, he never signed his art, thinking it should speak for itself. While the man shied away from promoting himself, his covers are immensely popular. Those images played a major part in the success of the super-hero genre in France and French-speaking countries.
Dork Note: I did not know these existed until a few days ago. I am now tracking down other French cover artists and will be posting their work in the near future
