Tom Grindberg says of his interior art for the #ERB Books' limited edition of SAVAGE PELLUCIDAR: "It's basically the reverse angle of the cover but in black and white!"

@jogginsboy @frazettagirls The maid? Yes. The "va-gas"? No. That creature is often pictured as centaur-like but in the book is a quadraped who could used his fore-limbs either as legs or as arms and hands. #ERB drew what he intended. Chris Peuler followed suit for the SWORDS AGAINST THE MOON MEN cover art.
In 1975, Doubleday published an edition of #ERB's SWORDS OF MARS and SYNTHETIC MEN OF MARS with Frank #Frazetta cover art. Last year @frazettagirls tweeted a detail of the cover art's #JohnCarter image.
Eyes speak the truth more often than the lips.

In 1974, Ace published an edition of #ERB's THE MOON MAID with Frank #Frazetta cover art (reissued in 1978, 1982, and 1985). Later the artist would revisit that painting with what is now the better-known version, retweeted below from @frazettagirls.
