The Art Of Barsoom: Frank Frazetta

Throughout the 100 years since the first John Carter of Mars book was published, there have been many artists that have been inspired by the Barsoom adventures of John Carter. Many have been showcased as covers on the reprinted books of the 70's and those in turn have inspired the artists of today.

And so I start with one of the most influential fantasy artists, Frank Frazetta (1928-2010). Check out more Frazetta artwork here.
