Rob's Room: Frank Thorne, 1930-2021

 Frank Thorne, ‘Red Sonja’ Artist (via Heavy Metal)
1930 - 2021

Please check out images of Red Sonja by the late great Frank Thorne here

In a 2011 interview with Nerdteam30, he showed himself to be a man who got to do exactly what he wanted with his life (via Tripwire magazine):  

Ambition?        “All I ever wanted to be was a cartoonist.” 
Likes?              “I LOVE drawing women.” 
Dislikes?          “I don’t like superheroes.”
Philosophy?     “Better hand-to-mouth than 9-to-5.”

An appropriate tribute by Loopydave

And also a wonderful tribute by Walter Simonson:
