Frank Frazetta's take on 'Scramble the Viper Squadron, we're going to kick some tin-can ass!'
I’d seen a couple of these before, but not all of them. It seems I’ve seen at least one other that isn’t included, too, that I think was a different take on the “Ice Planet Zero” image and was used as a cover for the novelization I read when Battlestar Galactica first came out. (Though maybe that wasn’t actually Franzetta.)
See the rest here.

My favorite genre: “Lingerie & Laser Cannons”….. ;)
SciFi’s greatest contribution to literature.
I’ve been a big Frazetta fan since the late 60s (cringe!), when I first came across the Lancer Conan paperback series, by L. sprague eCamp, Lin Carter, and Bjorn Nyborg. Great stuff!
If the painting above isn’t a Frazetta………it’s certainly in his style. Brings new meaning to the term “sprayed on”. LOL!
PS: Where do I sign up for duty with that squadron?!
Flanker,
I don’t know that you have the ass to make that uniform really work. Not taking anything away from you, just sayin’.
If anyone’s interested, the Frazettas maintain a musuem on their estate in PA:

And there is a spiffy documentary about Frank Sr I caught flipping chanels one night: http://www.amazon.com/Frazetta-Painting-Fire-Eleanor/dp/B00064ALNG
I have a rare poster. It has a teradactal,a tiger,and a practicaly naked woman.You can tell it was once painted on canvas,then massed produced.OH!..theres a year “1971″.Its in good condition.Im wanting to sell it.
Actually…It looks to be canvas.Not sure tho.Someone had burnt the edges and adhered to a piece of old,but nice, wooden wall panel with a generous amount of clearcoating gloss. the reason why i say it looks to be canvas…some of the “paper” is flexible.Im gonna take it to check for authenticity.Hope I can be able to show w/pics soon. Please contact me on any thoughts. I thank you for your time. JERRY J. VAUGHT
