DESCRIPTION
Ace Science Fiction Classics 1960s w/ Frank Frazetta art (see below)
rare in high grade; undervalued classic Frazetta seriesIn the early 1960s, Ace Science Fiction Classics introduced a new generation to the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs—with Frank Frazetta's cover art (and title page illustrations) luring in readers with his extraordinary talents. Frazetta had only started painting with oils at this point in his career, and these legendary commissions turned him into a major pop-culture figure. Books in this popular series are seldom found in high gradings. (The art for this book also features a rare collaboration between Frazetta and his mentor Roy Krenkel, Jr.)
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".
