DESCRIPTION
1968; revised and enlarged from 1965 Canaveral Press edition (see below)
Frazetta coverIn the early 1960s, Ace Science Fiction Classics introduced a new generation to the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs' beloved Tarzan—with Frank Frazetta's cover art (and title page illustrations) luring in readers. The publishers also worked closely with Burroughs fan base, to the extent of promoting contact addresses for fan organizations. The company also reprinted (and updated) Richard A. Lupoff's acclaimed book about Burrough's work. Lupoff's book has remained in print into the 21st century. This edition offered exclusive drawings by the team of Al Williamson & Reed Crandall, plus previously unseen art that Ace had commissioned from Frazetta and Crandall. (The MASTER cover is from Frazetta's art for Ace's reissue of BEASTS OF TARZAN.) Books in the Ace series during this time are seldom found in high grades.
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".
