As society braces for the advent of the millennium and collectively wonders about the changes it will bring, artists of the fantastic have assumed the role of pathfinders, preparing the way with their visionary interpretations of what the future holds. Among the talents featured here are Hugo Award-winner Michael Whelan, Caldecott winners Diane and Leo Dillon, and James Gurney, creator of Dinotopia. 200 color paintings. The best artwork by creators of fantasy and horror characters has been culled from books, comics, ads, magazines and other sources to provide an unusually well-rounded, expansive view of the creators of science fiction images. Usually such collections revolve around the art of a single selected individual: in juxtaposing the approaches and works of many, Spectrum 2 creates a fine and diverse presentation of award-winning images. -- Midwest Book Review 1995, First Edition , no flaws, front cover Rick Berry, back Ezra Tucker
