Adiós al legendario Ken Kelly, dibujante e ilustrador norteamericano, uno de los mejores alumnos de Dios Frank Frazetta y el artista que nos asombró con sus portadas épicas de Conan, en las publicaciones Warren y en las cubiertas de discos de Kiss o Manowar. pic.twitter.com/ZwAYV57LoG

Oh no, I just heard that Ken Kelly passed away today. He has always been one of my favorite fantasy illustrators. His Conan covers were top notch. Very sad news. pic.twitter.com/0NSCD1ALMM
