Item description from seller

Soft Cover. Underwood Books 1994. Limited to 500 copies and signed by Jury and Chairman Signed. 1st Edition. Limited Edition. Slipcase. Book condition: NM - Near Mint. Dust Jacket. Full Colour illustrations. FROM THE LIBRARY OF COMIC LEGEND DAVE GIBBONS! From the lurid pulp covers of the 1920s to the high-tech digitized imagery of today, artists have "made real" what others could barely imagine; they have, with the stroke of a pen or brush, frozen a moment, captured an emotion, or perceptively given us a glimpse of our brightest hopes. And darkest fears. Artists who regularly create works of fantasy and science fiction and horror, for books or comics or advertising or film, have had the difficult task of visualizing ideas and situations that aren't based on reality. They've shown us life on other planets and heroes of mythological times; they've painted Utopian societies and grim city-hell tomorrows; they've made dragons fly, aliens invade, and the dead stalk our streets. They are the shamans of our imagination and our guides to the land of "What if?" Spectrum: The First Annual Collection of the Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art is a long-overdue attempt to honor those visionaries. Selected by a blue-ribbon jury of award-winning artists and art directors from nearly 500 entries, Spectrum features a full color collection of nearly 200 magical works by a who's-who of the most exciting creators working today. Also included in a special edition are the winners of the Chelsey Awards as presented by the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. This deluxe slipcased edition of Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art is limited to 500 numbered copies and is signed by the Selection Jury and the Show Chairman. This comes from the personal collection of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons and features a certificate of authenticity! 158 pages. Size: 9" x 12" (230mm x 300mm). (1.8).
