Frank Frazetta's A Princess of Mars (1970) is one of the most influential paintings in fantasy art history — the cover that redefined pulp sci-fi for a generation and cemented Frazetta as the genre's defining visual voice. Painted for Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom saga, it captures John Carter and Dejah Thoris in a single, blazing moment of motion and menace: all coiled muscle, alien light, and impossible romance.
Painted in 1967 for the Popular Library reissue of Robert Moore Williams' pulp adventure novel, Jongor Fights Back is Frazetta at his most kinetic — a lone hero locked in combat against a prehistoric beast, rendered with the raw, muscular dynamism that became his signature. It's a smaller, lesser-known cover than some of his icons, but among collectors it's prized for exactly that: pure, unfiltered Frazetta action, painted for a paperback rack rather than a gallery wall.
These decks brings the paintings to a functional canvas. Frazetta's original composition is reproduced edge-to-edge across a [7-ply Canadian maple] deck, letting the artwork's full sweep — from the crimson Martian sky to the ferocity in Carter's blade — play out at scale. Ride it or hang it; either way, it's a piece of the genre's history under your feet.
Produced in collaboration with the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art as part of the LMNA x Frazetta series, honoring narrative art's power to move a story off the page.
