I'm just going to pretend that this was some giant insurance scam between the dad and the son. The son got caught and charged, but the dad won't press charges.

I hope.

I hope today's FFF is a good one; this article depressed me.

It must be hard being Frank Frazetta's son. The children of geniuses do seem to suffer...

However, anyone else think it's totally badass that Frazetta's attorney is named GEIGER?

This is just a goddamned shame.

did Frazetta's son really want the paintings so bad he had to restort to stealing not to mention his dad must have in some way screwed the kid up to actully steal the paintings that he would have wound up inheriting legaly instead the guy steals his own family stuff. family issues to a new sad level

I am from this area and I had a real good laugh when I saw this on the news last night

Don't you people think you should wait until the full story is known before condemning Frank Jr.?

I'm not sure how people are so sure Frazetta was a lousy parent. If you see the documentary "Painting With Fire" his children paint a very positive image, of an attentive, loving "stay-at-home" parent. Granted, it's a biased account, but what evidence is out there that he was such a bad parent his 50 something year old son would do that? And how does that make sense anway? Frazetta, Jr. isn't absolved of his actions even if Frank Frazetta was a lousy parent.

I'm guessing he is out of the will?

Daddy Dearest!

Good God I'm sad now....

Wtf this idiot who wrote this says maybe frazetta spent too much time painting, r u FREAKN KIDDN that guy spent so much damn time with his children, he was a family man, just goes to show how fuked and far the median can go with these stories

Death Dealer is going to come and backhoe JR if he doesn't stop fucking with Frank's shit.

"The elder Frazetta told police that his son did not have permission to enter the museum or to remove any artwork"

He didn't have permission? Shocking. I mean I know backhoe is my preferred means of entrance into places where I have permission to enter.

This sounds as if it were about the worst planning for a theft ever. The parenting issue is sort of a red herring though, nothing to get worked up over. Who cares if he was a good or bad parent?

Allentown + white people + poorly thought out crime = meth

Considering FF Sr. is 80, maybe he did give Jr. the OK, then forgot about it? (No, I'm not trolling for lulz...my deceased grandfather would say something and forget it 3 minutes later).

Well, wouldn't you?

Well, that's a pretty new low that I've heard now. Attempting to steal your father's stuff, I mean come on.

There's going to be a disowning after this one.

How could you fuck this up? This is a thief's wet dream.

Yeah, so this sounds like a legal battle in the works to me. I am guessing that Jr is trying to have his father declared unfit to manage his own fortune and failing.

That really truly sucks that it comes to this.

What I've heard from people connected to the industry is that Frank Jr. was the one trying to keep the museum going after Ellie's passing. That it was the other siblings who were trying to cash in on the artwork. Frank Jr. was trying to gather the artwork and secure it until the ownership could be settled.
Frank Sr. is reportedly suffering from dementia and might not have known what he told Jr. about saving the artwork.
All this would never be an issue if Ellie were still with us. She was the one who took the responsibility for Frank's work & legacy.
I wonder how many of the people commenting on the Frank Jr. story have any ties to the comic book & fantasy art business. Sounds like a lot of people talking about something they know nothing about.
Sad for the whole family. Especially for Frank Sr.
Frank's work helped inspire many a fantasy artist. There isn't one artist who doesn't owe a dept to Frank Sr.

And in my opinion, frank Jr is the good guy. He might have made a really stupid decision when he chose a backhoe as his way of getting in, but i think he was looking out for his father. And Sr could be too old to realize he gave an ok, or he could be the one lying. Never too old to lie. Whatever happens with the family, they should keep the museum open. Or donate them to another museum and tell those shitty kids to make their own money.

This is so simple to figure out.....jr's a thief always was always will be it's just getting worse because his mommy can't bail him out anymore...jr has been in trouble before I think it was forgery and or counterfit golf clubs... He's just a loser. Good luck frank sr... Better luck with the other 3 kids!! 3 out of 4 isn't bad!

hello, there was a place on franks website
to buy posters, but it looks like frank jr
screwed that up, maybe? anyway i can't find
it now. anyone out there able to help?
thanks , myron

No, what is depressing is losers with websites who run their mouths' off when they no absolutely nothing about the facts. But then that's what I would expect from a loser with a website called "topless robot".

What a tool.

Well let's see. The Museum has run without incident for 10 years. Just like the official website. The 90 paintings are displayed without an issue for all to see if they like. All of the Conan covers together in one place.

Ellie's dies and the same month Frank Sr. and Ellie's - Attorney / Bookkeeper / Contractor / Curator / Engineer / and Frank Jr. are ousted. And a Dr. and an art dealer start pulling strings.

Frank Sr. goes to a Notary and claims the 3 children are trying to kill him and are stealing from him. Then Frank disappears and is held in Florida. Where he is not allowed to speak to friends or business associates of 30 to 40 years...

How does that sound people?

Time for the Feds to get involved.
