6/2/2021: Title was changed as the IP does not include Conan the Barbarian.
The blockchain gaming platform Vulcan Forged has secured IP rights to Frank Frazetta Art and other four major fantasy artists Intellectual Property to bring them into NFTs.
It’s worth mentioning that some of the original licensed artworks are selling for millions of dollars.
