DESCRIPTION
Ace Books 1973 Edition; Frank Frazetta art (see below)
rare in high grade; undervalued classic Frazetta seriesAt the start of 1973, Ace Books released a new paperback campaign for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs—commissioning Frank Frazetta to paint dramatic new covers after his success with Ace's Burroughs' reprints of the 1960s. This classic series catches Frazetta at the peak of his new-found confidence in working with oils. (He had only started in the medium when creating the Ace line of the 1960s.) This book is from the publisher's 1972 fifth printing of the Burroughs classics, with a copyright for 1973. Titles in this popular series are seldom found in high gradings.
Artist Information
Frank Frazetta was an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media. He is often referred to as the "Godfather" of Fantasy Art, and one of the most renowned illustrators of the 20th century. He was also the subject of a 2003 documentary "Painting with Fire".
