His cover work continued well into the seventies when Ace decided to re-enlist Frank to provide covers and frontispiece illustrations for yet another reissue series of Burroughs novels. This time though Frank kept the originals. Dell Books hired him as well. It was for Dell that he painted two of his most famous pieces; Death Dealer (for Flashing Swords #2) and Silver Warrior (for Silver Warriors). He then moved on to Warner Books to provide seven covers for their company one of which was later turned into an album cover for Molly Hatchet. By the late seventies Frazetta was only doing about four covers a year. This wasn't due to lack of popularity. On the contrary, he couldn't have been more popular at the time. It was around 1975 when he started slowing his output. About the same time his first art book came out (Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta) and he realized a new market; merchandising.
