The Spectrum annual, now in its seventh year, has established itself as the premier venue for science-fiction art. 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. Spectrum 7 promises to be the most exciting edition yet, packed with over 200 full-color paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Michael Whelan (12-time Hugo Award winner), James Christensen (The Voyage of the Bassett), James Gurney (Dinotopia), Gregory Manchess (artist for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace), Bob Eggleton (The Book of Sea Monsters), and scores of others.
