Elak of Atlantis by Clyde Caldwell (1978)

Painted in 1978 by Clyde Caldwell, "Elak of Atlantis" was originally created as a paperback book cover illustration for Henry Kuttner's classic sword-and-sorcery pulp character that went unpublished before later being issued as a limited-edition art print. Rendered in oil on Masonite, the piece stands as one of the largest physical paintings of Caldwell's early career and marks one of his earliest depictions of a dragon. The artwork portrays the hero Elak (Prince Zeulas) clad in ornate armor and loincloth, wielding a round shield and raising aloft a glowing, flame-trailing enchanted sword in triumph over a slain serpentine dragon against a dramatic black void.
