The Kelly Freas Collection (Heritage Auction Comics Catalog supplement (2004 October - # 813-C))
(2004 - Heritage Auctions) 
Over 300 images are to be found here, mostly on the 65 pages that collect four images together. There are large reproductions on the cover and one ad page, but both images are better presented in his color monographs, all noted higher up on The List here, namely AS HE SEES IT, A SEPARATE STAR, and FRANK KELLY FREAS - THE ART OF SCIENCE FICTION. A good number of the images here repeat from those better books, but then again, a good number don't. Included among the newly seen works are some preliminaries, comps and color studies produced in service of final paintings. There are also interesting later abstracts joining drawings made when the artist was a youth. Freas' wife Laura, an artist in her own right, collaborates with him on some works here, as well as having a couple of her own included. All-in-all, I'd say that, while this isn't the most excitingly presented book one would wish for, you can't ignore that there is just too much Freas art here which is not fated to be collected elsewhere. If you want to seek out this volume, make sure you are purchasing this supplement and not this auction's main catalog. (Note - because this publication focuses on a single artist, this entry is a separate duplicate one from its appearance in the list of Heritage Auction catalogs elsewhere.)
