Hazard 4 Progressive Tactical Gear signed a licensing agreement with Frazetta Jr. Enterprises and will begin producing hats, apparel, wallets and accessories and more that showcase illustrator Frank Frazetta’s artwork.
Frazetta, an inductee into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame, was an American fantasy and science fiction artist whose work reached millions of people through Hollywood movie posters, comic books, magazines and record album covers.
The first product of the exclusive Hazard 4 line is the Death Dealer rubber patch, which is one of Frazetta’s most famous pieces of work. The Death Dealer is an image of a 1973 fantasy painting that depicts a menacing horseback warrior suited with armor and holding a shield and axe.
“The Death Dealer has inspired a generation of books, statues and more. His fictional character is revered by many and is the perfect addition to our offerings,” said Filip Postolek, CEO, Hazard 4. “We are honored to work along with the Frazetta family to showcase their designs on our product.”
The Death Dealer has been a symbol of the United States Army III Corps and is also the mascot of the U.S. Marine Corps helicopter squadron HMMT-164. In recognition of the Death Dealer, a life-size statue can be found outside of the III Corps headquarters in Fort Hood, TX.
