Drawn from work created for advertisements, books, comics, magazines, art galleries, and the portfolios of some of the finest fantastic artists working today, the illustrations in this collection extend the boundaries of the imagination and explore new realms of creativity.

A book I still pull out and go through from front to back. J. Toscano I bought this from Amazon over 2 years ago (just getting around to rating it :)) and it is still near the top of my read pile. This book has made me want to collect the entire series. Top quality.. But is it art? Of course it's art, but like any other Spectrum book, some pieces are for more moving than others. Lovers of fantasy, horror and sci-fi art take note, though: This book is an essential part of any library.As a comic book fan, I particularly enjoyed seeing severa. The changing face of fantasy illustration Any 'Spectrum' is a good 'Spectrum.' I have and enjoy the most recent issue, and it was interesting to pour over this older one and see the way that styles and trends in fantasy illustration have changed.Not a massive change, but, a metamorphosis.
