Special Price. Softcover published at $27.00, hardcover published at $39.00. Each eagerly anticipated volume in the art and art-buying world represents the who's who in fantasy today. Spectrum was the first and only illustration annual to focus solely on fantastic art. Over 300 artists: John Howe, fantasy illustrator and designer for Lord of the Rings; Peter de Seve, conceptual artist on Finding Nemo; the exquisite acrylics of Michael Whelan; the poignant work of John Jude Palancar; Doug Chiang, design director for Star Wars and creator of Robota; and Jon Foster, also of Star Wars fame. Lively, idiosyncratic, and sometimes shocking, this work continues exploring new realms of inventiveness and creativity. Divided into seven categories, including one devoted to comics and graphic novels.
