Dark Kingdom Painting (1976)

Originally titled "Dark Kingdom" by the artist, this painting was first published as the cover for Karl Edward Wagner's 1976 Kane series Dark Crusade novel. And in addition to being one of Frazetta's most popular prints, it has been a favored image in every Frazetta anthology, as well as being one of the most popular attractions at the Frazetta Museum for decades. After the success of showcasing the artist's painting "Death Dealer" on the cover of their self-titled first album, the band Molly Hatchet used this dynamic piece on the cover of their second (and all-time best selling) album "Flirtin' With Disaster" in 1979 -- so while all of Frazetta's best paintings from this peak era are immediately recognizable in the cultural consciousness, as one of his most popular and reproduced paintings of all time, this masterpiece in particular is hugely resonant.
