Spectrum 2

As society braces itself for the millennium and wonders at the changes it will bring, artists of the fantastic have taken on the role of pathfinder and prepared the rest of us for the magic that may come. Will we traverse the galaxies in gleaming starships or sink back into a dark age of swordplay and sorcery? Will dinosaurs again rule the Earth or will new monsters emerge from our nightmares? Are aliens watching us or… are they already here? Artists of the fantastic may not have the answers, but they have wonderfully shown us the possibilities of “what if?”. <i>Spectrum 2: The Second Annual Collection of the Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art</i> builds upon the excitement generated by the Huge Award-nominated first book in the series. Selected from almost 800 entries by a blue ribbon jury of artists, designers, and art directors, <i>Spectrum 2</i> features a full color collection of over 200 stunning works of art by the world’s best and most imaginative creators. Also included are the recipients of the annual Chesley Awards as presented by the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists, as well as a profile of <i>Spectrum</i>’s inaugural Grand Master Award-winner, Frank Frazetta. Underwood Books is again proud to be the publisher of this landmark series: the only “Best of the Year” collection for the fantastic arts.
