Michael Whelan's Barsoom covers

I mean, he's no Frank Frazetta.  On the other hand, he did a better job than Frazetta did of actually following the descriptions in the books.  He just didn't make them nearly as exciting.  But Michael Whelan is a highly regarded and prolific book cover artist in his own right, who's done a ton of covers that are highly recognizable and should be.
