LLANA OF GATHOL (1979)

Acrylic - 24" x 32"



Since I did the eleven Martial Tales books over the course of a year, as time went on some things became less important. This time we did not worry about the title of the book, and Llana herself does not even appear in my painting. 1/4

Weird pictures of the day are a couple of vintage Spanish Edgar Rice Burroughs' paperbacks with cover illustrations by Prieto. (Not books I own, btw). #weird #weirdart #artsky #fantasyfiction #BookChatWeekly #booksky #VintagePaperbacks #EdgarRiceBurroughs

JOHN CARTER OF MARS (1979)
Acrylic - 22” x 28”

I’ve had a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs even since I first read them in my early teens. This was the last of 11 covers, so it seemed fitting to have John Carter and Dejah Thoris ride off into the sunset. 1/3

This was the first #edgarriceburroughs novel I ever owned/read. I was about 15 or so.

THE CHESSMEN OF MARS (1979)

Acrylic - 20” x 25”

“As Gahan entered his square, U-dor leaped toward him with drawn sword with such fury as might have overborne a less skilled and powerful swordsman.” 1/4
