Some of Frazetta's best work was for the Edgar Rice Burroughs Pellucidar series. That lush subterranean wonderworld was an ideal location for Frazetta's inclinations and imagination.
Nowhere is that better captured than in this classic image of a Mahar tempting Dian, seizing control of her mind. It's a gorgeous image of a truly repulsive act, and Frazetta captures the essence of it beautifully.
Here is a color study found here for that scene which makes the event even more evocative.
And here is a a black and white image which displays the same scene. The Mahars were maybe ERB's scariest creations in many ways, and it shows here.
Rip Off
