i remember first coming across the Spectrum art books in my twenties, when i would buy books simply for their dust jackets and hope the story inside wasn't too awful... the art in these books is amazing, creative, imaginary, dreamlike, fascinating, and ultimately full of life and the love of wonder and wondrous things... i would own them all if i could... extremely highly recommended...

If you are into Spectulative Fiction or Comic art, this Annual is a great way to see your favourite cover artists and find new artists. In the introduction to this one (1997), there are some interesting comments regarding the "new" digital art medium spreading and its potential impact on the industry.
