Inspired by the sweeping saga
of Battlefield Earth,
a gallery of richly expressive paintings have been created by a
wide range of brilliant artists.
The greatest of these artists
is none other than Frank Frazetta, the Hugo Award–winning grand
master of fantasy illustration. Though the legendary Frazetta earned
his fame with spirited and powerful heroic-fantasy art (most notably
for Conan and Vampirella), he has included science fiction in his
unique and often-copied portfolio, including works for SF stories
written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 Frank
Frazetta has dramatically portrayed several of L. Ron Hubbard's
vivid science fiction and adventure works in original paintings,
and his vision of Battlefield Earth—appropriately
titled Man, the Endangered Species—captures not only
the primal terror of the alien but the undaunted bravery of the
hero and his fierce determination to protect the vulnerable woman
he loves.
Other international artists have also offered their
own visual windows into a variety of their favorite scenes from
Battlefield Earth, many of which are
included in our gallery.
Battlefield Earth is
inspiring a new generation of readers, too, who love the fast-paced
action and page-turning adventure of this compelling tale of the
year 3000. There are plans in progress for exciting new media incarnations,
ranging from an animated television series to a multiplayer, multiplatform
on-line role-playing game.
