Woman with Scythe by Frank Frazetta (1971)

This haunting gothic fantasy piece is an official oil painting titled Woman with Scythe (also widely referenced as The Green Plague), created circa 1971 by the legendary "Godfather of Fantasy Art," Frank Frazetta, to serve as the iconic cover art for Warren Publishing's Vampirella #11 in May 1971 and later reused for Creepy #91. The background story depicted evokes a dark, apocalyptic landscape plagued by pestilence and death, capturing an intimidating, wild-eyed sorceress or witch standing triumphantly atop a crumbling stone structure as she holds a striking, blood-tipped scythe triumphantly overhead. Frazetta delivers a complete clinic in dramatic composition and kinetic movement, framing the central figure in flowing, wind-whipped black tattered robes while flanked by her bizarre companion—a horned, spiky-backed primeval lizard or monitor beast—all enveloped in a swirling, atmospheric canvas of toxic green smoke, roiling ash clouds, and localized bursts of hellfire that perfectly capture the raw horror and macabre elegance defining 1970s pulp illustration.
