"Death Dealer I" Statue, Inspired By Frank Frazetta's Art

In 2009, the military base at Fort Hood installed Frazetta’s “Death Dealer I” statue, which they renamed “Phantom Warrior.” When the III Corps adopted the character they decided to utilize the more politically correct “Phantom Warrior,” perhaps not wishing to glorify “death.” The statue, based on the sculpt by Randy Bowen, sits outside the headquarters building. The final product is an 18-hand tall (about 6 feet) Shire draft horse, mounted by a menacing, armor clad, 6-foot 6-inch warrior, in a horned helmet; and weighs in at 4,600 pounds.

I've always enjoyed Frazetta's artwork. Until today, I had no idea that a bronze statue, a copy of his "Death Dealer I," is on display at a U.S. Army base. Too cool!
