The D’Achille gallery above comes from The Art of Barsoom<\/a><\/em> blog. It shows what a great job D’Achille did with those covers. Too bad you don’t see the full, wrap-around image for each.<\/p>\n

But that website isn’t what got me thinking about the Mars covers. It was seeing The Golden Age<\/a><\/em>‘s recently gallery of covers and artwork from early hardback reprints of the series.<\/p>\n

But for me, it’s the colorful paintings by D’Achille. How about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
