Rezensionen / Stimmen
"With a series as influential as Spectrum it's difficult to overstate its importance. But if you want to see how high the bar is set in fantasy and science fiction art this is a must-have. Get it and be inspired."
- ImagineFX magazine review of Spectrum 24
"Every volume of Spectrum is like a collection of vibrant stars in the night sky. Year after year, it shines its light into the artistic community. It dazzles us as we gaze in awe at the wonder of it all and witness the birth of new, brilliant, celestial bodies born into the galaxy of fantastic art."
-Rebecca Leveille-Guay, award-winning artist and creator of IMC
"Spectrum is like a whole new creative universe in a book that I can lose myself in for hours. Every time I open one of my Spectrum books, turning the pages is like falling in love with art all over again."
-Camilla d'Errico, comic artist/creator and pop surrealist painter
"Spectrum is more than a book, more than a competition. It's a community. The very best artists in the realms of fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction and comics meet here as peers in this unusually fraternal space. This is the only place in the universe where you'll see legendary artists alongside newcomers, all presenting their images for you to marvel at. The only defining factor is artwork that will knock your socks off!"
-Mark Chiarello, VP, Art & Design Director DC Comics
"A bottomless source of inspiration, each volume of Spectrum brings me face-to-face with the very best in contemporary fantastic art."
-Brom, award-winning author and artist of The Child Thief, The Devil's Rose, The Plucker and Krampus, the Yule Lord
