DESCRIPTION
1964; 1st printing
Frazetta art for "sword-and-wonder" comp of stories by Poul Anderson, Andre Norton, and more.In the early 1960s, Ace Science Fiction Classics turned to Frank Frazetta's amazing cover art (and title page illustrations) to help sell their reissue campaign for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The artist was also called in for additional duties--including this oil painting of a wild battle beneath two moons for a compilation of stories by Poul Anderson, Andre Norton, and more. Books from these popular Ace series are seldom found in high gradings.
