    Gorgeous artwork, as Frazetta always does.

    Plus, I love the sheer political incorrectness of this: a naked white ‘damsel in distress’ being rescued from certain ritual slaughter / cannibalism by dark savages, by a pistol-shooting white man. All kinds of stuff here to ‘offend’ the trigger-ready-to-be-‘offended’ types. Gotta love it.

    Something weird about the body shape on the woman. Her limbs are all muscled out, but the tits and tummy are plump.

    Incomprehensible and brilliant.

    Someone should do a satirical 21st-century version of this in which the guy is a skinny dweeb and the woman is a fat scold who is towering over him and ordering him to bend over and welcome the invaders into his butt.

    His style changed when he painted his wife. (NSFW)

    Frazetta in the ’70s … Can’t beat that.
