Deja Thoris / John Carter of Mars ** ART DAY **

[omegaman]

Here's something I am VERY excited to have acquired. This was one of my absolute favorite John Carter of Mars / Deja Thoris images from when I was reading all the books and comics. I was mesmerized by this painting when it was first published in the 70s. In my opinion, one of the best EVER Mars renderings!

THAT IS AWESOME!

 

 

What a great piece of art. I am very jealous!

 

That had to cost a pretty penny. (But so worth it!)

 

 

Best,

Very, very nice. I remember the image from an old Russ Cochran Art Auction (# 21, July 1985). It was one of 4 Boris paintings being offered at (minimum bid) prices ranging from $3,000 - 5,000. A Tarzan painting sold.

 

The same catalog featured some Frazetta oils (Uncle Creepy and Gollum) with minimum bids of $4,000 and 6,000 respectively. Neither sold.

 

Still, a lot of money in those days . . .

Agreed. I don't like Boris at all usually, but this cover is very nice.
